As of today, I made the final addition to home theatre setup (except for the sub, which won't be far off). For anyone who is looking at starting a home theatre, I can fully recommend Boston Acoustics.
My system consists of:
CR97 Fronts (cost me $850)
CR75 Rears ($550)
CRC Centre ($380)
Denon DVD 800 DVD Player ($400)
Denon AVR1803 Receiver ($900)
All of the prices were reduced from retail.
My system is at the lower price bracket of the market, but I am VERY happy with it. I have read numerous reviews of the Boston CR range, with reviewers constantly commenting about how these speakers outperform speakers costing twice as much.

The Bostons are such a neutral speaker. They are punchy, accurate, and smooth...but still remain balanced (ie they are not boomy or have harsh high's). I have definatley caught the Boston Bug
Just can't wait for my CR97's to loosen a little!
Now for some Boston's for the car...
