I need serious help with speakers

I am tired of going to 12 different retailers and hearing this is the best and those other speakers have this problem and these don't. Here is what I have, a B&K Comp AVR 307, 7.1 but I do not have the speakers to match. I have a Denon 2800 DVD. I have heard Jamo, Klipsch Reference Series, Paradigm Studio Series, B&W Series 3, Definitvie Technology, JM Labs Cobalt Series, and Vienna. I think that I have the receiver in place but I want to be able to walk into my theater room and have it be just like the theater up the street if not better. I liked the B&W but I heard them connected to Denon receiver. I liked JM Labs but again connected to a Denon receiver. I really liked the Klipsch too. What do you guys think would be my best bet!!

I agree with Mdomnick. If you want a mix of music and video go with the Paradigms. Also, if you can find the JBL SVA series, they were great for home theatre. I prefer the non metal tweeter sound over the Klipsh. John

I am in your shoes Jamiegisi (except for the B&K that is). I am leaning a little more towards 2-channel, so I am going with the JM Labs cobalts. I watched a couple movies with the dealer on a Saturday (Boy, it sure is nice to find a dealer with a whole lot of time on his hands....went on a Saturday and no one but me came in, listened to music and watched movies all day!) I was really surprised with how well the JM's imaged in 5.1! I also heard them through a Denon AVR4800, and it even sounded good...I would imagine your B&K would sound quite a bit better even.

I'll give a vote for the JM Labs, they are excellent speakers for an excellent price!
