BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE

Depending on your room size, I would suggest an in home demo of Ohm Walsh towers and center.  I have the 2000s and a matching center.  For over 10 years now, I have enjoyed them and have no interest in trying other speakers.  YMMV, of course, but I think they are an amazing value.

Find somewhere to hear the Paradigm Premier line.  $3K for their biggest floorstanders and their biggest CC...inclusive!  And they are one of the few companies that use vertically aligned TW/MR on their center channels, which is key for good dialog and blending with the L/Rs.  Their smaller kit is $2400 for all 3.  I use their SE-1 and SE Center from a a few years back, and I am totally happy with them...for HT.

 It IS a tough question. I am, right now auditioning a set of rear loaded horns that I built. Should be plug and play, right? I know better and have several drivers to try out in the enclosures. Even though I like the sound of the horn in general, it will require auditioning. 
 In short, I gone for the build it yourself concept over the decades because of what you can save in price and shipping.

Monitor Audio on sale. :)  Check out Parts Connexion, and I think either Music Direct or Audio advisors.

You like Klipsch stay with them.

If you’re at all serious about home theater I would not skimp on the center channel speaker. I’d shy away from SVS — good speakers but that metal-dome tweeter doesn’t always play nice with A/V receivers. Very hit or miss. Here are a few to consider:

1. Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower ($1998/pr), Sierra Horizon Center ($1098).
2. Aperion Audio Grand Verus lll ($1998/pr), Grand Verus lll Center ($559).  You could also drop down to their Intimus series and save a lot of $$$ and still get very good performance. 
3. If you can find them new or used, the Wharfedale 10.7 Diamond Towers and Diamond 10.CM Center will sound great and be half the price or more than the others, which would leave you room to add a nice SVS sub.

Just a few options to ponder. Hope this helps, and best of luck.

BTW, I worked for Magnolia for a bit and got to try all their receivers at length. By far my favorite and the most transparent and dimensional with high-quality recordings through $9000 B&W 804Ds was the Yamaha Aventage. Smoked Marantz, Adcom, and Onkyo, and it has the bonus of being significantly more reliable than all of them as well. A guy came in who owned a Marantz AVR and when I switched back and forth between his Marantz and the Yammy he told me the Marantz sounded “broken” in comparison. He was not happy. Anyway, more food for thought FWIW.

I heard Fyne Audio, they were very good and have models in many price ranges.

The best speakers are whichever brand and model you prefer.

From what I’ve read, Tekton owns this segment. But can’t go wrong with KEF, B&W, etc. Also, Tannoy has a new tower for $1100 that looks very interesting.

HNY!

At about 2k for used Tekton Double Impacts. Muuuuchhh better than anything else out there in that price range IMO. 

I liked the svs pinnacles in the store.     I own 2 of the last 3 klipsch series.    Was pissed when they came out so quickly w same speaker dif stand for the bottom n more modern look.   That sound a ton better too        i wss glancing at the kef q series.    I think its the q series.     Just not sure what to do.       Looking for dif opinions 

Have you had any speakers you have liked or heard any you like ? If so what are they
