thanks a lot Doug. The two sites are great. Will probably wait till my next trip to the U.S. order a set and ship it back myself. :-)

Thanks Doug. Will take your advice and check out the Synergys. Hopefully, they carry these in S'pore. Thanks once again for your advice. You probably just saved me from being disappointed :-)

Thanks Doug, I did kinda suspected that mixing speakers is not really the right thing to do. Budget wise, a complete set of quintets (with sub, centre & 4 satellites) cost US$1000 in S'pore! Satellites take up 1/2 the price at US$230 per pair. I believe it's cheaper to buy from Ebay and have them shipped to me in S'pore (or carried back by friends) and I may just do that. Size of my hall is about 20 x 30 ft (includes dining area). Problem is the ceiling is 2 stories high and I'm not sure if that'll affect the sound. If I take the complete quintet system, I'll probably be using it solely for HT and keep my TDLs for music. The amp. I'm thinking of is either the Harmon Kardon AVR3000 or the Denon 2802 (with preference being the 2802). Haven't really thought of a good budget DVD player yet. Guess if I buy the quintets, my main concern would be whether it'll sound too tiny in my hall. What do you think?

I need some advice please. I've a pair of TDL RTL4s and I'm trying to build an AV system around it: 1) if I buy the quintet centre, rear and sub-woofer to match the RTLs, would I be able to tell that the sounds are coming from different manufacturers? I'm afraid that different speaker systems may spoil the sound effects. 2) if I buy the complete quintet system for home theatre, would the sound have problem filling up my hall? What is the recommended room size for using the quintets? Would the fact that the room has a very high ceiling affect the sound as well? I'm new to this and would be grateful for any help I can get. THanks
