7.1 system suggestions for a two channel guy


I'm building a new home and am looking to go from a two channel system to a seven channel system. I went to my "audio guy's" showroom to hear what he had to offer. The sytems and speakers he showed me were loud and muddy. I tend to like more of an analog two channel sound but I want to try the seven channel in my new home for surround sound but don't want to sacrice quality for quantity.

My question is does anyone have ideas as to a unit/system that will provide a clear seven channel sound which meets modern demands at an affordable price. I going for "bang for my buck." Also I'm going from two channel towers to 7 channel in-walls so some suggestions on in-wall fronts would be nice also. Jamo?

Regretably, in wall speakers will never be optimal for two channel listening. Especially given your needs. Keep your towers, find a center channel speaker from the same company and put the surrounds in the walls. The front three speakers need to be matched as closely as possible, the surrounds aren't nearly as critical.
