thinking about upgrading my home theater speakers. I just need the five speakers, no sub or receiver. suggestions? I went to circuit city the other day but didn't find anything I liked. I'm using speakers from an old Dolby PLII CD player, and I didn't hear anything better at CC.
 
Paradigm Cinema 70 CT. Yeah it comes with a subwoofer (a nice one though) which you said you don't need but the $499 MSRP is pretty darn nice. Here is a link to the specifications for the speakers.

yeah, looked there already. most are over $700 🙁

sorry 😛

You totally missed out on what would have been an incredible deal.
I'll tell you anways:
RSC100 plus two pairs of RS150s were under $600 total. Too bad.
These would normally be like twice that, but they were being discontinued (and now are).

Another random deal: Polk R50s for $79 each. Four of those would leave you a good chunk of change to get a nice matching center.

Another suggestion: Sticking with the Paradigm suggestion, two pairs of Paradigm Atoms and a CC-170 would be $600 I think. You might even be able to get a slight discount from a local Paradigm dealer.

I'm sure I've mentioned AVSforum to you before, you can find lots of great options over there too.
