<< That would be a decent $$ division.......
If you want to take the trouble to DIY speakers, here's a Vance Dickason home theatre kit (5 speakers) using Audax and Morel components. The dipole surrounds are a really nice touch
Vance Dickason designed HT system
That price includes every single component needed to build the speakers, and instructions
Sure it may "seem" expensive, but note that this system can easily put any Paradigm, Energy, probably even Wharfdale system to shame. >>
Wrong link there Viperoni!
BTW, I Just bought DC-7 speakers from VAF and are amazed by their quality compared to other speakers in the same price rang (~450 US) If ya got the time, go DIY, save a chunk of money and get some damn nice speakers!!
