Best home theater system front speakers

I am looking for home theater front left right speakers which will be powered by an Onkoyo reciever. I am basically going to use the system for watching movies and listening to music.

Can anyone give me suggestions on a good brand or model for speakers? I saw some Polk Audio speakers at Circuit City for sale for about $300.
 
heh...first mistake going to Circuit City or Best Buy

Go to a Audio Dealer (B&W, NHT, Paradigm, KEF) that caries more variety than what BB and CC offers. also, do your research on avsfourm.com and hometheaterforum.com. You will learn that there is much more to offer at a cost sensible price than what you would pay @ BB, CC, and even the Audio Dealer. You should look @ internet brands, axiom audio, aperion audio, ascend acoutics ( I have these ) and onyx rockets ( these are all fine speakers at a very good price ). For subwoofers check out hsu, adire, svs ( i have this ). Then make your purchase, you wont regret it and it will make watching movies a new experience, 🙂.

If your going for hometheater you will need a 5 Speaker setup and a Subwoofer in order to get true HT. You should plan accordingly if your going to break up and buy piecewise. You ideally want a timbre matched system so that when movie scenes pan or move around you wont have speakers outputing different sonic tones. Take your time and research. Good Luck, 🙂

Paradigm,
Jamo
Definitive Technology
PSB
B&W

At least those are the 5 brands I'll be evaluating when I next upgrade, in that order.

also, be sure to match up your center channel speaker with a model from the same lineup so the sound matches. I'd recommend matching surrounds, too.
