Jake, it can be difficult to make the right choice when the salesman is biased. As you said, they will be loyal to their own brands. My advice would be to listen to a number of speakers on your own, and purchase from a hi end store. They will usually offer home installation, which would be particularly easy since your home is still being built. Otherwise have the contractor set up the wiring for you, once that's in place, it's a snap. just get a setup disc and a spl meter from radio shack and you will save a bundle, and get exactly what you want in the process. Dynaudio is a great start, a true hi end name, my personal favorite. check their websight for the nearest retailer (www.dynaudiousa.com). The 25 is probably not the best choice for AV gear since there is no corresponding center channel, you might want to consider the contour or confidence range. let your ears be the judge, and let us know what you end up with!
