Yup get the A6 to match the A5 since they have the same large 6 1/2" woofers. The center channel is the most important since that one will do most of the work for movies and dialog.Full 5 channel set of Polk Audio
Fronts - LSiM 705
Center - LSiM 706c
Sides - LSiM 703
Mits WD-82842 82" DLP 3DTV
Denon AVR-3313CI Receiver
Emotiva stealth DC-1
Emotiva XPA-2/Fronts XPA-3 Center-surrounds
Oppo 103

If your looking for decent sounding speakers for the budget minded, I would look at Energy speakers. Best buy sells them, and they don't sound half bad. Not a big fan of Primus myself, just don't particularly care for the sound, but again that's just me. I would suggest that you take a day, go to a couple/few stores, and demo speakers. You have a good AVR, just get some really big bookies for the fronts, or a floor stander. You have a fairly large room, and even though small satelite type speakers may fit the decor better, you probably won't be impressed with the sound.

Thanks for searching an posting those links.
Now I am also considering the Focal Chorus 706v bookshelves or the 814v floor standing speakers.
I will try to locate a dealer so I can listen to them.
Anyone care to comment on the Focals.
