Bit pricey IMO.

Prestige is a good line. But with this budget I would be looking for full-size fronts, not bookshelf speakers.

Oh, and I almost bought that Seismic 110. I auditioned it a couple of year ago. It's a pretty good sub in spite of being so small!

That was my thinking (bookshelfs, really?), plus Id want a different sub.

If you take that total and spend it elsewhere you come out better IMO. I know some folks like sets, and I have been back and forth in the Klipsch thread at AVS on why I would take an Hsu, PSA, SVS,Rythmik, etc... sub over a Klipsch sub.

Agree. I almost went with the Prestige 85 Towers. They are pricey, and I don't care for the boxy look. Glad I went with the Wharfedales.
