For my case.... its really depends hows ur 5k budget speakers will last..... if u wanna get the "feel" first and maybe willing to upgrade later.... I'll say get something that u can sell at good price on 2nd hand market.......coz I got the same case as u...... was plan to get some nice outlook speakers...just to match my lovely chair.......so I bought a pair of micropod and nu force icon....with cable and other stuff... got it less than 4k... but soon I've found out that cute little speakers can't feed my hungry......so I try to upgrade as lower budget as I can..... I sold my nuforce and got a 2nd hand AV amp.....
After a yr.... im having a nice woofer that I want....new speakers....cable and stuff.......so far I spend around 16k with all the toys......and I still haven't upgrade my amp........
All I can say its... they worth every $$ I spend... and I'm happy even it makes me so broke all the time........ those feelings r priceless.......
So u need to think how long will the 5k system can last.....b4 u got hooked like many of us XD
