Help me decide on the best setup

[okfireman]

I have been looking and posting for awhile on here and believe I have finally decided between three definite choices. All are similar in price and would feature the same setup. They are all 3.0 setups and will have a pair of bipolar or dipolar surrounds added later and a descent sub. My room is approximatly 12 x 14 with standard size ceilings. I watch all 40% movies 50% tv and 10% gaming. I want them primarily for Home theater use watching blu-ray movies. They probably wont be turned on much during tv watching but will be for gaming. My three choices are these:

1) 2 Infinity p362's and a Infinity PC350.

2) 2 Polk RTI8's and the matching center for these.

3) 2 Energy C500's and a c-c50.

Have you listened to any or all of them? What is your ear telling you? I myself would want to hear all of the choices you have listed. Out of the 3 my choice would be the Infinitys. You can add some more insulation to the 362's and lose some of the cabinet resonance resulting in a much better sounding speaker.What is your price point for this HT setup? The C500's are a great speaker as well though. I like the smooth tweeter sound from the Energy's much more than the harsher Polk IMO. I may have spoke too soon and may go for the Energy over the Infinity in a shootout. Again have you heard them?

Unfortunatly no I have not heard any of them. There is no where to audition where I am and the only places to go are the big box outlets that dont carry these lines. My budget is around $400 to $500. I plan on adding in some descent priced bipoles for not to much and would like to add a sub so if money can be saved and allocated that way that would be awesome but I dont see it happening. Either way I dont plan on running a huge sub with these because I am already stretching my budget way out. So some bass would be nice out of these but not neccesary because my room is small.

Anyone got any ideas on any of these setups?
