Hi,

I'm new to the whole home theater scene, but I've just purchased a home that is prewired in the family room for surround sound, and I'd like to take advantage of it. So far from the research I've done, it seems the best place to start seems to be with picking out the speakers.

The room I have is very small, (about 10'x10'), but I'd like to get that movie theater sound. Does anyone have any recommendations for speakers that I should look at? I know the room seems to be prewired for two front L and R speakers and two rear L and R speakers in the ceiling, so I'd like to mount them there.

Any recommendations from those of you with some experience and knowledge in this stuff is greatly appreciated!

What kind of budget are we talking about here?

It does for me! Thanks!

It's only warranted in the rare cases that you recommend your speakers to someone, not when discussing audio in general.

Austin, we need a few more details:

1. upstairs or downstairs room?
2. % music to HT usage?
3. max. total budget?
4. what receiver/amp do you have, or will you be adding one?
5. will you be adding a subwoofer?
6. so your 2 rears are ceiling mounted, are the fronts as well?
