[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 1541320, member: 554493"] Do not, and I repeat do NOT get a home theater system where all the speakers are identical. These are just the same thing for different locations which = poor sound. What I mean by this is the HT systems that you sometimes see have the mains and the rears be identical. While it doesn't matter for the rears, the mains need more. Your mains and center are doing a good 70% of the work of the entire HT (besides subwoofer of course) since you have the main action and the dialogue coming from the front. The mains need to be beefier than some simple cubes. HOWEVER, if all the speakers are in fact decent, the point is moot...but that usually doesn't happen. Look to put together a decent component system (towers, bookshelves, center, sub) for around the price of your budget and it will more often than not beat out any pre-made surround set with 5 simple speakers.
