Well these Pioneer speakers have been off and on sale at Newegg for a while now. If you're not familiar with these little speakers they are an incredible value and bang for buck! They sound rather fantastic and impressive for their small size and small price tag. They were designed by Andrew Jones, and a lot of the funds I'd imagine are spent on the crossover.
So anyways I've decided to pick up a set of these for the HT here are the different models at newegg, it should list their sale code as well. The towers are 70 off while the center and smaller bookshelf speakers are 50 off. The bigger bookshelf speakers have gone on sell usually with the others but this week they are not on sale.

So I have a few options I've been thinking of.
A) 3 sets of the tower speakers to use as LCR and Surround backs with 1 set of the small bookshelf speakers as the side surrounds.
B) 3 sets of the towers with the center channel
C) 1 set of towers, one center, and 2 sets of the small bookshelf speakers for the surrounds
My friend and I have been going back and forth all day about using the towers as a center and surrounds saying he's never liked towers as surrounds. I'll be running this for now off an Onky TX-SR805 with Audyssey doing it's work.
Obviously option C is the cheapest, while option A and B are pretty close in price. All fit into budget just fine though.
Oh and this is going for a projector setup and I'm going to be converting my old screen to AT or building a new screen that is AT with the Seymour AV material.

Eventually I'll have a theater room and I'll be building some stuff for that and then after that I'll be building a killer 2 channel system (amp, dac, speakers building it all). These Pioneers will likely move to the living room setup. But for now I can't complain they sound great and were dirt cheap.
