Audiophiles...Home Theater Advice SPEAKERS

So I'm going to be hooking up a 6.1 speaker system for my living room, and I was looking for some advice. I am steering clear of any Bose systems, or other Home Theaters in a Box.

Any recommendations for speakers, subs, and receivers?

And I can only find headphone forums, not dedicated home theater forums that are actually helpful, so if any of you know of those that would be great too. Thanks.

We have a marantz receiver at my house which is really sweet. What's your budget?

How much money do you want to spend? You could spend $500 or $50,000. We need to know before we can help you out.

you could build a great setup for under 500 (assuming you already have a receiver)

way more rewarding to listen to speakers you built yourself, and if you do a half decent job theyll sound 100x better than some bose bullshit...although you already seem to understand that bose is shit

Haha as much as I would like to build them, I don't really have the time. But maybe that could be a little side project. I'm looking at Boston Acoustics soundware series speakers for the inside and voyager series for out by the pool/deck. anybody have any experience with these?
