<font color='#000000'>Okay everybody, your opinions are wanted here. I am purchasing audio pieces for a small home media room (15 foot x 15 foot x 8 foot). I will listening to 60% music and 40% home theater (DVD). My budget for a receiver and 5.1 speaker system is around $2,000-2,700. A Denon AV-2802 will be the receiver. I’ve narrowed down my choice of speaker systems to just a few, but can’t find one place that has them all side-by-side. Please give me your opinion only if you’ve actually compared two or more of these pieces.
