Does anyone have any recommendation for a 5.1 speaker system for under $1000? I'm trying to help a friend pick something good that he'll be happy with but he's placing a specific price budget on me. The $1000 is only the budget for the speakers alone.

I'm really trying to get him to spend more for the Epic Grand Master, but it probably won't fly.

Has anyone heard the AV123 x-series line?

And before anyone asks, his room is larger than 4000 sqft which also opens into a kitchen. Filling the room properly isn't the first concern, budget is. Listening preference is both music and movies.
