First off let me say I move a lot because of my job, I'd say every 3 years or so. Therefore, I would like to stay with smaller lighter speakers, thus bookshelf. I know you guys/girls will have different opinions, so my ears will have the final word. But anyways, for about $500-$600 or less per speaker. what brand and model do you recommend for fronts and center channel. Surrounds will follow suit later. Feel free to name other brands not listed below. Anyways, I've seen a lot of positive reviews for def tech Studio Monitor 65 for the fronts and CS-8040HD for the center. Also SVS Ultra Bookshelf and Center. I will be moving in about 3 months so I don't know what my future room layout is yet. Also my avr is a Denon avr-x3100w. To give you an idea of my a/v habits- general TV watching 45%, gaming 30%, movies 20%, and music 5%.I plan on keeping the new speakers for at least 10 years or so if I can. So the price will not be that big of deal over the long term. Thanks for your input
