Thanks guys this is a good start. With the options I had the infinity's were the best I could get in 96 (overseas BX/PX). I was able to find a shop on the other side of town that is a dealer of some of the speakers mentioned, if I get the time I'll go give em' a listen.

Is a home theater PC the same as a media server? I'm not finding a lot of those, so far I'm liking the Okoro BX-100. I saw a few thread titles about building your own still need to do some reading before I can ask a proper question on doing that.
