Speakers for audio and home theater

It matters what movies you like and what music you like. Movies with beautiful scores deserve full range speakers. Will you be using subwoofers with standmounts or floorstanders?  My recommendation is to buy the best front two speakers and matching center channel speaker you can afford and like their sound. It’s impossible to recommend a manufacturer or model because we don’t know your taste. The surrounds are less important but match the center to the fronts for seamless integration. Subs are essential for most movies so budget in one or preferably two subs. Hsu and SVS give you more value then you can go with standmounts and matching Center. Lots of choices. Good luck. 

Tekton Double impact monitors 

Klipsch RP-8000F and RP-504C

GoldenEar Triton is a good suggestion IMHO
I had the same delima eight years ago as I moved into a smaller home. So I replace my Dunlavy SC lll's mains, center, rear speakers and a sub woofer with the Definitive technology Mythos ST's with the built in powered sub woofers. Worked well for a small elegant full range speaker and for two channel setup, plus they were excellent for 5.1

Get speakers geared towards music first. It must be important to you, as you are on these forums.

I started, correction, re-started my journey back into ‘hifi’ by setting up a HT set-up with speakers more geared for that purpose. Problem, I soon realized they pretty much sucked for music, especially 2-channel music listening. And, as I began to seriously listen to music again, this became a problem. Additionally, listening fatigue was a huge problem with what I had.

In a rather brief but interesting journey, I now have Vandersteen 2CE Sigs as my mains, Vandersteen 1C’s as my rears, (originally purchased as my ‘new’ mains and replaced two months later with the 2CE Sigs), an ELAC Debut 2 C5.2 center, (which actually work well with the Vandys), and my original HT purchased budget BIC F12 sub (waiting you be replaced by one or two REL’s, but as the 2CE Sigs go pretty low on their own, not in a huge rush). All that for way under $2K. More like $1,300. All purchased used (the ELAC and BIC were open box finds). I’m not recommending anything above, that’s your subjective decision, but just an example of primary speakers made for music that work well in a HT set-up.

Bottom line, good musical speakers sound better than fine to great for HT.

As I have a subscription to the Berlin Philharmonic, and listen to live performances in 5.1, the musicality of all the speakers is important to me in that regard, and it does sound wonderful when using them for that purpose. Normal TV watching, I really don’t care, but it sounds great. As do the 2CE Sigs for 2-channel music listening. Which is the most important to me now.
