My opinion is to choose between option 1&3. I just don't like the look of the construction of those small satellite speakers in the Polk package. You tend to sacrafice a lot when you don't have a cabinet, as such. You can also put togehter a similar package to choice #3 with Infinity speakers. Checkout www.crutchfield.com; they carry both Polk and Infinity and yo might also be able to find a shop in your town where you can give a listen to Polk and Infinity, but you won't be able to find a place to audition the SVS package.
