Speakers to compare to Paradigm Studio 100 V.3

I am getting ready to build a stereo/surround system and I really like the sound of the Paradigm studio 100's. I would be getting the full set (5 speakers + 15" servo sub... the recommended system on the paradigm website). Are there some other brands i should consider at this same price point ($5500 - for the set of 5 and the sub)? The speakers will be used as 2 channel stereo the majority of the time, with surround being not as important. Power comes from a Denon 3803 for now until i can add an adcom or rotel 2 channel for the 100's.

are you planning on getting the same speakers for your fronts and backs?

If your planning on doing the majority of your listening in 2 channel mode than you really should budget appropriately.

I think you can do a hell uva lot better than paradigm 100's, personally I'd budget like this:
3.5k for your front speaker
1k for rear speakers
5-700 for center
5-800 for a sub
and make sure to buy used!!!

be prepared for everyone to post that you need to upgrade your amp/pre/source/cabling etc....
