Which are the best HT speaker. REL,Aerial,Velodyne

Agree with the above. My personal choice is the Paradigm Reference range. Would use them for an all-music system but they perform well for HT.

Have to throw in a vote for Aerial. I currently have LR5s,CC5,SR3s, and two SW12s. You could do this new with one sub and have a home theater that could stand toe to toe with anything. These speakers need lots of power and a long break in but you will never look back!

Thanks for the info guys. I might just go with the M&K.

I compared M&K, B&W, and Aerial. When all was said and done, I went with the Aerials. For HT, the Aerial CC5 is the one to beat. The center channels from M&K and B&W were no comparison, IMHO.

If you listen to any music on this system, DO NOT USE M&K!!!!! All the other choices above are much better suited for a dual role. KGB540 was right on with recommending the Maggie 3.6's. Dynamic, detailed, and the 3.6's can handle low bass very well for music (leave the sub out for that!). M&K are very good HT speakers, where most of the info is derived from the center channel (like 75%) but they lack size and body for music, even surround sound music. If you have a Maggie dealer close by you should at least give them a listen. GOOD LUCK!!!
