Best towers and center under $700

[spoonie]

I am looking for a movie only setup I plan on adding rears later but would like to get the best I can for the front towers and center. I only want to spend $700 for the 3 but may budge a little if its needed. please show me some good towers with a good price

What size is the room? How much power will they be receiving? Do you have any specific tastes in sound(warm, bright etc.)?

EDIT:::

Add another hundred and you can get the whole acoustech system from BIC.

The room is a standard rectangual maybe 12X15 with a hallway on one end and the entry to the kitchen on the same side. I want the best tower speakers I can get with center channel for somewhere around $700. I will only be watching tv and movies in my living room and will be powering them off an Onyko TX NR801. I would rather speen more on my fronts and center then a whole setup.

have you looked on www.audiogon.com you could look at demos and closeouts and even

used speakers there. that way you would have almost 1400.00 in spending power. Do you want floor standing or towers.

Paradigm Phantoms you can get a pair new for about 550, and you will never ever regret it at that price point. I have not heard anything sound even close to them at that price range. Try them out bring a cd of brothers in arm to demo them.

.....I'm convinced these take care of a few price levels above, maybe more than a few....

I wish I had known of these before I bought my Paradigms. I'd say they sound just as good and a lot less money. Especially for HT...

You could get a pair of phase tech teatro 7.5's for fronts and a 6.5 for the center from onecall for about $500 total. I have the 4.5's and think they are great!
