BigWill makes a pretty good point here... The Package he just described (M80's and M2's for $1375)... and for the Ascend Package, to compare fairly to the QS-8 and RS 300 surrounds, you really need to bump the Ascend package to 340's all around... figuring about $1500-$1550 delivered...

Is everybody in agreement that these systems, ranging from $1400 to $1900 are excellent values in the bang for the buck category ?

Also... There may be a 4th entry...
