Budget 5.0 and 5.1 Speaker Systems

[Sonnie]

I'm curious... what budget 5.0 or 5.1 speaker systems are there available for ~$1,000 or less?

SVSound's SBS-01 System
5.1 Surround Sound Speakers with PB10-NSD - Black* $999
Knowing how good their subwoofers are, I'm sure these are killer, for bookshelf speakers.

Five Infinity Primus P152 or P162's or Beta 10's, depending on how far under $1,000 you wanted to be, then that leaves a whole heap 'o cash left over for a subwoofer... and electronics, should that be necessary.

Infinity Primus P362 for mains $310/pair
Infinity Primus P162 for surrounds $200/pair
Infinity Primus PC350 for center channel $220
Infinity PS12 subwoofer $275
TOTAL $1005

The Infinity Primus PC250 center would bring it down to $925.

This would be a very good system, probably not to be considered "budget."

Cambridge Soundworks should definitely be considered for 5.1 systems under $1000.

I have the Cambridge SoundWorks Enthusiast Home Theater System and absoluteyly love them. Their MC300 is life like.
