If you can find them on the used market, I would consider NHT superzeros of superones (five used all around). Add a sub for the L&R and a second for the LFE if you are going DD or DTS.
HT system with small speakers
Need help comparing several options. The speakers need to be small due to space considerations. Polk RMDS-1. Approx $2500. Gallo Nucleus Micros with Rotel or Onkyo Receiver. Also around $2500 Anyone have comments on these systems? Should I be concerned that the Polk system does not have DTS or THX certifications? What about its upgradeability? Also, anyone have comments on lower priced systems, ie the Sony DAV-S300 for $600? Finally, any other small speakers I should consider, ie Boston Acoustics, Klipsch, etc? Thanks.
