Home theater speakers

Any suggestions on home theater speakers? We already have a receiver but no speakers. Room is dedicated theater (18' x 13') pre-wired for 7.1. Will have ceiling mounted projector and fixed projector screen. Does not need to be top of the line as if like to keep this under $1000. I know nothing about this stuff, so any help is appreciated

But to answer your question look into Definitive Technology ProCinema 600
or
Klipsch Quintet Speaker System

I purchased this set in 2003 and still use it today.

Klipsch and Definitive are both very good choices and provide high quality sound.
A cheaper alternative would be the Energy Take Classic Home system. It is a 5.1, but for the money it can't be beat. It is highest rated on CNet for its category.

I really like my Definitive Technology ProCinema 600, but it is a 5.1 system. $725 on Amazon for the system plus he would have to buy a couple of satellite speakers to complete the 7.1 system. But I guess he could get it just over $1k or so, depending on the satellite speakers. And then he might need stands or mounts which adds a decent more cost also.

Ceilling height?
Definitive for center channel, Polk for surround.

Thanks, guys. This is a great start for me. Apologies for posting on the wrong board.
Ceiling height is 9 or 9.5 ft

You built a dedicated theater room and you want to buy 8 speakers for $1000? That's barely enough for 2 good speakers.

I was at a customer's house where they were removing Very expensive B&W Nautilus speakers and replacing them with Even More Expensive Wilson Audio speaks. Don't know what all the surrounds cost, but front pair are $49k.

I have klipsch. Love them. Not sure the specs of them. Paid about $350 each. Way too much for the way I use them. When me & the wife get to finally sit and enjoy a movie, there's usually a 2 year old sleeping 20 ft away, lol. But sometimes, when no ones home, I put on some music really loud just to say I got my $ worth

It took a lot of dicking around, but I have reached the same conclusion.
