Help me spend $5,000 on a 5.1 speaker system


Hi everyone,

I'm relatively new to high-end audio equipment, so please forgive me for not knowing what is good or not. I have $5,000 that I'm planning on spending for speakers in my living room. I recently bought a pioneer elite VSX-94 receiver and a pioneer elite dvd player. I have a 50" Sony LCD tv (although I may upgrade to a larger tv/projector next year. As for now, I want to get the best speaker system possible for "movies". Here is what I've found, please let me know if you have better suggestions!

Definitive Technology BP7002 $1099x2
Definitive Technology CLR2500 $899
Definitive Technology BPVX $499x2
System Cost: $4095.00

Axiom Epic M80 $665x2
Axiom Epic EP500 $1230
Axiom Epic VP150 $408
Axiom Epic XS8 $270x2
System Cost: $3508.00

KEF iQ9 $600x2
KEF iQ6c $500
KEF iQ8ds $300x2

System Cost: $3500.00

Well, I am not sure about the rest but I would go full range ( or at least very close to it ) all around and sub only for .1 effects. Especially true if surround music is your cup of tea. There is no substitute for full scale presentation IMHO.
Also , if movies is all that you need them to do well - go THX all the way but most speakers that excell in music reproduction are also great for Hollywood crap. If you are going to go with small monitors , they all should be the same in all aspects.
For movies only - I like M&K THX all around. For music.....I like my own AAD 2001 monitors that reach down to 30Hz and you can always add their sub later. However that setup ( 5 monitors would cost you around 5K - given that dealer would give you a price break on the package of 5 ) . This set up would be funtastic IMO, based on my experience in stereo mode since I am not much of videophile myself.

Cheers and good luck

Has anyone actually heard a SVS system of an Axiom audio system? If so, please let me know how they compare to what you see in the stores.
I am seriously debating between the following two systems - just like my previous post, has anyone actually heard either of these systems? How do they compare to what you can hear in the stores?

SVS Sound MTS-01 5.1 System w/ PC13 Ultra sub $4400.00

Axiom Epic 80 5.1 System w/ EP500 Sub $3332.60
For home theater you can't beat Definitive Tech. I've had several and it blows away most and for rock and roll it even sounded better than my current, way more expensive system I have now.
