We need to know your listening priorties; music, movies, percentage of what you will use the system most for.
Also the listening environment and type of sound you are looking for.
What is the current system you are ditching? |

My vote - Paradigm Studio 40s, CC470, & 20s for rears. That's about 1/2 your budget. BTW these are great for music and movies. Add a HSU or SVS sub of your choice and get a Denon 3806 or comparable Yamaha. If you're worried about having enough power get a used amp off ebay or audiogon. The sub will provide most of the "WOW" factor.
This is what I have, and I love it. I've listened to many other speakers since I've gotten them, but none make me want to change except the B&W 800 series which a setup of those will be about 3 x your budget.

The Paradigm Studio 40's and the 20's are awesome all around speakers. It is advised to spend the extra money for the coinsiding stands because these are bookshelf speakers, but don't let the size fool you. These speakers have a very high power handling and are very accurate and like Mackie says they do well with music and movies, very versitale. The bass the 20's can produce is amazing let alone the 40's.
