We invested in an entertainment center, which prompts me to give up some sweet JBL floor speakers and am looking for some recommendations for the bookshelf types. I looked at the Bose 161's, but have read differering opinions on them.

Would like to stay under $200 for the pair.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

Repeate after me. Never ever, ever never, purchase Bose. Friends don't let friends spend money on Bose. Read more about Bose here.

I have to disagree, somewhat. You will not find a better pair of noise-cancelling headphones than the QuietComfort 2s. I couldnt travel without them.

If you had JBL floors and were happy with them then you should stick with JBL for your bookshelf speakers. If not then I recommend Infinity PRIMUS 160. Great price and very good sound.

Will do and do not hesitate to add to this thread. It may help others in my situation. I am leaning towards sticking with JBL as you metioned, Prometheus. It really doesn't make sense to go anywhere else, but as I write this, the Infinity's might work as well. Ok, so I have no clue at this time, but will definitely let you guys know what I picked.

Thanks again!!
