Need Recommendations On Surround Speaker Package


I just recently purchased an Adcom GTP-860III Home Theater Preamp & Adcom GFA-7605 125 watt 5.1-Channel Power Amp. I would like some recommendations on surround speaker packages for my new gear. Looking to spend between $1500 -$2000.

Looking forward to reading your feedback....

too vague...need more info!
This is EXACTLY WHY people end up with serious sonic compromise, and mediocre to poor sound at best most often!...they simply want to know "what's the best speakers at a given budget?" Well what the best speakers are is all relative to OTHER VARIABLES, yes!
There's not only a gillion options, but you're not filling in info on room size, acoustic considerations, seating/placment limitations(if any...and there almost always is), finish preferences(if any), floor standing or bookshelf (as some prefer floor for music if need be), etc.
Also, if you're into music on the system, what's your listening habbits and prefernces?
let us know
Yeah, just for the record, there never has been an "explosive anything" coming out of ANY MAGANAPAN SPEAKER, EVER!!!!! I know, I've sold maggies for years now.
Maggies are dynamically challenged to say the least, and especially challenged when you hit the "GO BUTTON" on your power pedal!
Basically they're very delicate speakers that do better with lower level dynamic material. I mean you're not going to ever get any "sock in the stomach" from a rock performance from a pair of Maggies. Now you might blow the ribbons out of the suckers,(have done that before by having them tip over on the floor by accident) but that's about it. Other than that, they're beautiful, very pretty, clear, detailed speakers as a line...but delicate none the less. I know, I've sold em for years now. Infact when the word Dynamics comes to mind, I DON'T THINK MAGGIES, THAT'S FOR SURE!
Oh, and as for the "Exertfluffer" thing, it's a handle I concockted(he he) for Yahoo mail, because I was running out of ideas that wouldn't need a number mixed in with the letters at the time. And that day my friends and I were making jokes about fluffers, and there you are.
