1) budget is $3k-$4k for speakers.
2) I'd like to have a subwoofer that can reproduce the very low end well
3) most likely setup is center channel under screen, two tall (and skinny) mains to the sides, and both side and rear surrounds up pretty high on the wall. Best place logistically for the subwoofer would be up front.
4) use is likely to be about 99% movies/tv. I listen to music in a different room.
5) it would be nice if the center spkr could be mounted on the wall directly beneath the screen, but if not practical it can be out in front a bit on a stand.
6) purchasable at a good price on the internet. I buy approximately everything that way, so if a manufacturer forbids internet sales, and actually manages to make it stick, they don't want my business or that of ppl like me. For this to work, I also have to be able to find reviews, pictures, specs, etc on the net.
7) A good center. A lot of speaker lines seem to have a lot less $ going into the center speaker than the mains, which doesn't make that much sense
for a movie-centered system.
8) I think I want non-direct radiators for the surrounds, because of the positioning (pretty close to the seats). But I could be convinced otherwise.
