Opinions on Speakers and SSP's

Thanks for the reply and what do you use for center and surrounds? I am familiar with the Vandersteens from years ago and probably need to revisit them.

You don't indicate your budget, so I'll make my suggestion based on a cost less than $3000 (MSRP). I have owned and listened to a lot of speakers over the 35+ years I've been an audiophile -- and I keep recommending Vandersteens when people want a speaker that works well for both music and HT. I have a set of Vandy 3A Signatures, and use them for both music and HT, and couldn't be more pleased. Keeping to my budget limit of $3k, you could get the Vandersteen 3A, and if you need to stay under $2k, then look at the Vandersteen 2Ce Signature.
