SVS Speakers or Something Else? Absolutely Newbie.

I’m looking for 7.1 speakers for my home theatre and budget is $2000. Since I know very little about speakers, receiver, etc. I went to seek help.

People suggested SVS Prime bookshelf speaker (I asked for bookshelf since wife does not like those big ones), SVS Prime satellite speakers SVS Prime center speakers and Hsu research VTF-2 MK5 subwoofer.

Then I saw a post of SVS and Their Marketing Practices at Head-Fi forum:

Is SVS a brand I can trust or shall I start looking for something else?

Thanks.
