OK. Makes sense. I see the point that speakers are the weakest link on the chain
and where most of the money should go.

Now, what would you recommend as front-left, front-right speakers for around
$500.
I assume this would be full range ?

Sheesh. That's like asking for a tire recomendation for a set of
four for $75.

Forget home theater for a little while. Use the TV set as the center speaker
and spend the $500 on just the front left and right speakers. Then spend
$300 on the center speaker. Then spend $200-300 on rear speakers. Then $300
for a powered subwoofer.

If you spend $500 for a 5.1 set, you're not going to do much better than
the speaker your TV already has.
