Mid to High End Home Theater System

[rshad0000]

Thanks. I would love to hear some PSB speakers. I have certainly heard a lot of good things about them. It is tough to find a dealer that has some in its show room.

Yes. I plan on replacing all of my speakers including the subwoofer. I have $15k to speand and plan on keeping the speakers a long time. I want to make sure I make the right choice.

So far I have auditioned Dali, Paradigm, B&W, and Klipsch. All have their strengths and weaknesses. The Dali Helicon 800 seemed to handle movies and music pretty well overall. Very quick speakers.

For 15k you owe yourself a listen to Focal-JM Labs Profile series.They are very musical speakers,I have not heard them in a home theatre set but they should be excellent.Concentrate on musical speakers,if they excel at music they should do movie soundtracks well.

I would listen to the high end Revels with your budget. I love B&W so maybe their higher line is worth another look. Revel uses the same National Research Council resources in Canada as PSB if that makes any difference to you. I would even give Revel the slight nod over PSB, but just slight.

I liked the Helicon800s *plenty* when I heard them too and feel you can't go wrong with those... They are some of the better ones out there, IMO. You may want to also consider a brand like Legacy Audio (their Focus is a killer rock speaker, for example).
