Best $500 speakers for Home theater only?

Iplaynaked,
I am planning on getting their new processor, so maybe that would be a good match. Thanks for the replies!

Only problem with bookshelf is you have to get stands that would prolly cost as much as the speakers!

For home theater, given that you already have a high-output sub, seems like high output mains are called for. Maybe Klipsch Chorus.

Duke

Check out HSU Research. I heard there full range stuff while auditioning a sub. Considering the listening area, not bad at all. You can get a full set AND a mid bass driver.

Check the Axiom line from Canada . Not good for music but pretty nice for HT . They used to have a 30 day buy and try . If you don't like them send them back for a full refund . You can also buy blems and used from their site .
The blems are pretty tough to see any blemish at all , a good bargain . Clean and clear with good bass . With music the highs are too much though . Designed with tube amplifiers .

I still have the surrounds (dipole) and center . Looking for different fronts as I like to watch music videos at times .

Good luck .
