Which bookshelf speakers to buy?

What sub will you be using if 3.1?

I asked about the sub because if you're going with bookshelves and you want "real" music reproduction, the crossover is critical. I personally am a great fan of Klipsch products. I have never heard any other speakers that can duplicate the immediacy of those horn loaded tweeters. They have this clarity and in a HT setup, the surround effects are so realistic that they can make you jump. I had the SVS SBS-5.1 system for a while and honestly cannot recommend it for music listening, not to say that the MBS might not be a superior product. I'm looking at some of the new Class D amps right now. Been reading great things and I can't wait to audition one.

Unfortunately Wader, right now I don't have a Klipsch set up or any set up. I recently sold my HT, quit my job, and went back to college. I'm a starving student now (just kidding) and can't afford the finer things anymore. When I was stationed on the USS Enterprise, we used a Promedia 5.1 system running off a Sound Blaster External sound card from optical inputs from PS2 and that was good for our tiny shop. When I built my HT, the RF series sounded consistantly better than the other demos at the local HT store. I didn't have the cash to lay down then and worked up from bose to infinity to the SVS system which is what I sold before going back to school. My opinion remains that Klipsch speakers just sound more 'real' or 'there' than the competition all things being equal. I'm rebuilding again but this time I'm going to go modular with separates starting with two channel and working up. I'm thinking the new Oppo BD 83 running analog outs to a multichannel pre-amp and one of the new Rotel class D amps to Klipsch RB-81s.
