Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00
As for "adding speakers", I recommend against it, unless they are clones for your mains. It's never good otherwise, nor believeable sonically. Tonal changes shift from side to side, and it's distracting, pulling you out of the movie. I vote away f... 
Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00
Without first knowing your room size and setup options, I probably vote you just add a dedicated AV processor (even an inexpensive Acurus ACT 3 would more than suffice...more than good enough for movies, very dynamic/clear) for movies, a subwoofer...

"...you wouldn't buy an expensive turntable and put a $19 cartridge on it an expect greatness. How can you only buy 2 out of 5 speakers and expect greatness? Wasting your money with that mentality."(cinematic systems)This is analogy is off track I... 
Why are big speakers in small rooms bad?
Here in lies the problems with big full range speakers like the gold's in that room...First, placing the speakers where they yield the best response in the upper bass, will not be the case for the deepest base. Thus, often, you'll either be dealin... 
Any experience w/ Earthquake subwoofers?
I've had some experience with Earthquakes as well. They are desceptively quick, blend well, are musical, and play hard and deep! Placed properly, It's a very worth while choice for the earthquake, in an HT/music setup! I consider Earthquake's alon... 
Is B stock a safe bet?
Yep, sold plenty of B stock over the years...seems to be as good a bet in terms of performance as the other mostly. Still it's good to know you've got a warranty though. Yes, I'd buy B stock if need be, and I've worked in high end for many many ye...

Saffy, have you formulated anything regarding the direction you think you'll go?

Dadnliz/others...you know we wouldn't be having all these problems if everyone would just learn to worship me.(lol)I still like his choices of either high end two channel and sub/pre-pro combo or multichannel higher end speakers that fit his room/... 
Best Complete HomeTheater USED for $5000.00
Let's review...as long as any monitor or full range passive speaker is coupling well down to 80hz and that critical bass reigion, and they are using strong capable powered subs(good/well placed/and enough of them for the job) that are in phase, pr...

"...the 80HZ was set-up for a standard and was budget minded to keep theater owners happy, are you telling me that if you had say a Legacy center speaker wich can cycle down to near 20HZ it would be better to run it small and crossover at 80?" (Ch...

"...unless you are Amish, no 2 chanel can give you that theater feeling" (Chadnliz)I dissagree. I personally know that a QUALITY 2 channel setup is much better than 5 or more channels of mediocrity, ANY DAY!! Again, I speak from over 15 solid audi...

I think it's all personal and relative here. I mean, everyone has different gear out there, everyone!..even the audiophile/reviewers for magazines have completely different setup's.That all said, you could go a number of dirrections. You could do ... 
Need Help Choosing A Subwoofer
Yeah...a 10x10' room? You definitely can forget the 4x15" subs with mono's! Call it a hunch(lol).Yes, you need quality well integrated fast solid bass. I think it's reasonable to say you'll be staying with mass marketed, and forgoing the custom DI... 
Which Processor, Is Rotel 1068 a good choice?
If you're looking for bargain new pieces, I'd take a look at the NAD 163, Adcom 860 II, and the new outlaw pre's for reasonable pricing. The Rotel is descent stuff, and always seemed to be solid/dynamic/clear enough for movies...descent on music. ... 
Need Help Choosing A Subwoofer
I like your Infinity RABOS (EQ) 10 SW10(?) sub to fix your bass mode problems in that room! Otherwise, at the very least, you have to consider placing smaller fast subs at the half way room points (otherwise, a good "subwoofer table stack" in the ...
