Best Dual purpose HT and Music speakers 10k


<$10k new, that way a used pair might be in my budget.

Just looking for fronts.

But obviously there has to be some sort of matching center and surrounds available for later purchase from the same manufacture to make it worthwhile for a HT application.

I was looking for more of a general answer as to which company makes a speaker that does both well. I figure more people would get use out of that instead of me being selfish and making it all about me..

But since you asked...

First the reason I said $10k, is because it looks like on then used market you can pick up most speakers at 50% off. I rather not buy new, I want the most bang for my buck and with new, well you loose a lot of value out of the door.

Aragon 8002 2x125
Sunfire Cinema Grand 5x200
Rogue 99 Magnum Tube Preamp
Lexicon MC-1
Electrohome or NEC Front Projector (not sure which yet)

I am not married to either amp and would consider upgrading, but I needed to start somewhere.

The room is 25' long and 13' wide. I do not have the room nor $ to run two separate systems.

I just heard the Revel F50's (thanks for the suggestion Mike) and liked them a lot but at $8k new and none on the used market, they are out of my price range. They also had 3 Snell Reference A's from 1997 selling for $7k for all three. Didn’t get to really hear them, but at $30k new, they must have been good.

I have heard Alon's, very nice but don’t know if they are dynamic enough for HT.

Going to hear some Merlin VSM-M's this weekend.

That’s my story….
Well, heard the Merlin VSM-M this weekend and was sold. They were great.

Now I have to start saving for the VSM Center and 4 TSM surrounds!!!
