5.1 Speaker Packages....Any Worthwhile....


....for, say, $1.5K?

Forgot about the .1 part of the 5.1 package. I would buy a used sub (Hsu vtf-2) or the Titanic kit from parts express and find 5 NHT Classic threes. I've seen used pairs for $400. A little more effort than going down to best buy but it would be an awesome system for around $1500.
Look at Totem. They have one in that range, Dreamcatcher. Good company and good speakers.
I agree with the NHT suggestion above. Classic 3s are tailor made for theater. If you insist on a package deal, you may be interested in this. You'll have a few bucks left over for a nice sub and plenty of popcorn.

On the subject of Magnolia, they seem to be carrying an interesting list of manufacturers.
