I'm really confused. I'm looking to upgrade my home theater and want to start with the speakers. Some suggested Klipsch. I couldn't find a Klipsch dealer in the area. After talking to a sales person at a high-end audio store. I was told that the Klipsch uses horn technology and the sound would not be true. He suggested Paridigm studio 20v3 or the larger tower in the series. I have to say that I do like the looks and sound of them. $1800 for the towers or $800 for the bookshelfs. Do I need to to go to this extreme in price to have a great sounding system. Two things I need. Good sound and a dark wood cabinet to match the surrounding furniture per the wife. Any suggestions? I have an Onkyo SR500 and plan to upgrade to the 803.
