Hi everyone,
I am turning to your wisdom in my first post here!

I have picked up a new Denon AVR-3806 amp on special, and now looking for a good set of main speakers. Options are pretty limited here in New Zealand when it comes to getting good value. Also, we do not have most of the brands you have in the States.

I have identified 2 options. The Wharfdale Opus 2 at NZ$2,400 (US$1,800), or the Polk Lsi15 at NZ$2,800 (US$2,100). If these prices sound crap, its because we are milked by the importers (also freight prices are high and there's the small sales tax). Both are listed as NZ$3999 retail here.

I am looking for a set of excellent front speakers for use in music etc, but will expand to 5.1 HT later.

Anyone come across both these sets and can advise?? The info on the Opus series speakers are very limited and any comments are appreciated!
