    It all comes down to cash. I bought a pair of Lsi15s for $900 New and a pair of ML Grottos for $1300. In the end I spent $2200 on speakers that IMHO no full range speaker in the price range (If there is a true full-range speaker in this range) could begin to hang with. A quality musical sub, connected and calibrated properly will disappear in a room.

    Full range for 2ch. I'd love to move up to a nicer pair of Tannoys one day.

    I bought a pair of Polk RTi 12s for under $1000.00 and bought 2 PSW1000 subs from a grey market seller on eBay and have about $1500.00 in the pair of them. That's all four speakers at $500 less than your budget. The RTi 12s are on sale at Crutchfield for $474.00 each with free shipping and at J & R for $399 each and about $70 each for shipping. The PSW1000s went for $750 for one and $$675 for the second. I think shipping was about $75.00 each.
    The Beloved System:
    Parasound Halo P3 Preamp
    Parasound Halo T3 AM/FM Tuner
    Grant Audio Tube Buffer
    ADC Sound Shaper II IC Graphic Equalizer
    Polk XRT12 XM Satellite Radio Receiver
    2 Carver TFM 35x Power Amps
    Harmon Kardon T45 Turntable w\ Benz MC 20E Phono Cartridge
    Vincent Phono Preamp (not enough gain in the Parasound Phono In)
    Cambridge Audio 640C V2 CD Player
    Nakamichi BX300 Cassette Deck
    Polk RTi 12 Main Speakers
    2 Polk PSW 1000 Subwoofers

    I think it all comes down your own ears and how it sounds to you. Sure there are a lot of good articles out there in regards to the topic but sometimes what the authors write is totally different for the end-user.
    In my HT/music system I have dual subs and it just fill the room better for me.
