“I’m currently in the market for floor standing speakers that will serve a dual purpose as both 2ch audio, and the L/R in a 5.1.”
@mlenow,
Sadly, this place is run by 2-ch fanatics (majority of them are deep into Vinyl or should I say anti-digital) Do you see the pattern, they have a one track mind….digital is bad, home theater sucks. Never mind if someone like you loves movies and music alike. Instead of suggesting a good pair of speakers, what you get is biased advice to give up the idea of hybrid system and focus on two center stereo…fabulous!
I suggest read up on some of the speakers listed on hometheaterreview.com and see what peaks your interest within your budget. Once you have narrowed down your choice of speakers, either find a way to audition them at nearest dealer or seek advice here from the actual users. Good luck!
