first off, just makin' sure you have checked that you have a surround receiver
I like Infinity, Yamaha, and Definitive Technology.
I do NOT like Bose. Overpriced junk with only midrange. "If there's no highs or lows, it's gotta be Bose"
What you wanna do is go to the stereo shop with YOUR CD that you're familiar with. Put it in and listen to the different speakers. See what sounds best to you, and get that.
