I'm in the market for 5.1ch speakers for home theatre and have shortlisted these in no particular order:
Klipsch HD Theater 300 $560 delivered
Jamo A320HCS6 5.1 $699
Canton Movie 75 $799
Q Acoustics 7000 $600 but willing to take $500. Note that this isn't the 7000i, just 7000.
My budget would be around $700. I am told the Q Acoustics are terrific but they look horrible and a bit like Logitech. Canton is supposed to be well made and used to retail for around $1400. Klipsch has great reviews on Amazon. Jamo is ok as well but I heard it is hard to wall mount the speakers.
Any advice or other recommendations would be appreciated. If it's in second hand and in good condition I am open to it.

Probs moot if you already have a amplifier
I got a Logitech Z-5500 all in one system. I got it brand new for $350 or something 7 years ago. Still makes the walls shake, no distortion or anything. Only complaint is that after a few years the lights behind lcd died so you can't see it at night but depending on how you feel, that's a good thing as well. Still read it ok in light conditions.
They don't make it anymore, it was succeeded by the Z-906 which I understand is less bassy. But some people say that the z-5500 were TOO bassy and the midrange were a bit weak.
Prices vary wildly but you can get the z906 for $350 from a variety of places.
Quite an attractive unit imho but i'm not gonna upgrade till they have lpcm input over hdmi.
