When I listened to GoldenEar speakers, I wasn't impressed and said so to the dealer. His response- 'They are highly rated by all the magazines, you don't know what great sound is...'
My advice: Don't believe everything you read.
If you want a good HT sound system, buy a pair of good speakers used(like Vandersteen) and a matching center. Add a sub or two for the bottom end.
Yes, it costs more, but you won't be chasing your tail trying to find an inexpensive solution that will cost you money that you won't recoup on resale and still not achieve what you want.
Just my opinion
