I am sure the setup you installed sounds great, DSP5k's are good speakers.
I don't know exactly what he had, but it wasn't cheap (it was not a big name speaker) and cost a lot more than he paid for his "used" Meridian Setup. Which I think was around $3500.00 total (G68, 4 5K's, 1 5KC, 1 D2500 all 24/96). He just bought the same TV I had too.

His biggest issue was poor dialog and unsatisfactory bass and he tried several center speakers. He was using the Denon Amps in the Receiever and 2 active subs.

He was using it mainly for TV/Movies.

- Fiddler (IMHO)

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
