polk audio vs. boston ac. vs. klipsch

[markz]

Not sure which one to buy, Klipsch HD Theater 1000 5.1 or Polk Audio TL 2600 or Boston Acoustic Sound Ware XS 5.1, I like to hook up it with Onkyo 609 receiver in my living room 20’ x 30’, any ideas.
(anybody knows why Klipsch stop making this 1000 system)

Thank you.

That's a mighty big room for them thar tiny speakers.

I agree with Mark.
You need a smaller room or bigger, better speakers.

Thank you,I was afraid of that, I guess I cant change my living room so what speakers are good enough for this room, I have to mount them on the wall, my budget is about $ 1000.
Thanks.

Why do you have to mount them on the wall? You may want to mount them on the wall, but that tends to hurt performance a lot. I don't spend 1000 dollars on a sub par anything. Is this really what you want to spend 1000 dollars on?

If you insist on small speakers then I suppose the KEF Eggs would be okay.

I would at least, try to do something like the HSU package.

A review of the bookshelves - on and off axis measurements are decent.

If you really need to go with small ones -
The KEF2005.3 - the sub will faint in your room

Thank you very much everyone, looks like I have to change my setup to get a better sound, what about Polk Audio floor standing model # RTA 15 TL ( I do have them already in perfect condition) with rear Polk Audio Blackstone TL2 and center Blackstone TL2.

Thank you.

I would aim higher, than this setup.
