[QUOTE="joetama, post: 3485728, member: 564641"] The big difference between a good quality bookshelf and a floorstanding speaker is the bass reproduction. But, to be completely honest if you are a bass fanatic a lot of the time you might be better off using bookshelf speakers and a subwoofer to match them. For example: 2x B&W 686 (Surrounds) $450 PR 2x B&W 685 (Fronts) $600 PR 1x B&W HTM-62 (Center) $400 PR Total: $1450 This would be a kick *** system if you added a subwoofer too... If you need to buy a Receiver too, then you might want to look into going with a 2.1 or 3.1 system and then adding surrounds later. Also, look around for used equipment. There is a lot of used B&W 600 Series 3 equipment out there since the release of the Series 4 line. Honestly the best thing you can do is to go out and listen. Tell the dealers what your budget is and they will work with you (if you have a good one). If not, go find another dealer...
