@tblanka +1 for the Tannoy!-
I purchased an all tannoy setup about 15 years ago for my A/V system and still have them - they are all still working flawlessly
- Fusion 4 Towers for the front
- Fusion centre channel
- Fusion 1 for the rear
I also looked at Klipsch in the same snack bracket, and found a store that carried both that I could audition.
It was pretty close...
- Klipsch were very dynamic but a little bit brighter that the Tannoy and depending on personal preference they might be better for Surround sound
- The Tannoys won out on musical presentation
I drove them with a 70w/channel Denon 5.1 A/V receiver
There are higher priced/perofrming model/ranges like the Revolution models that use the Tannoy centre mounted tweeter.
The only thing to be aware of with Tannoy is that they can require a little more toe-in that other brands to achieve an excellent image.
Hope that helps
