Loft series are okay.. I'm guessing you saw the deal. They go on sale a few times a year. I listened to them at Frys the last time they went on sale. I don't remember them being stellar, sound wasn't murky or warm. Highs and mids were fine.. I was just meh about them, so I didn't pick them up, but I was a Frys so they might sound a lot better in the house and not blown to shit. Might as well try them out. If you don't like them, use them in another room.

Alternatively, B10s on sale.. good for rear duty. Micca's too (not familiar with them but interesting).
Klipsch B10s.. $69 (frys) FRYS.com|KLIPSCH
Micca MB42.. $50 (Amazon, MB42x are $79)
I'd get B20s / KB15s / BICs for the fronts if you go bookshelves. Or a little more and get BIC FH-65Bs (these fucking pump, just get 2 of these and FH6-LCR center, or freaking 3 FH6-LCRs as the center and fronts). Micca MB42.. $50 (Amazon, MB42x are $79)

If you want high end options, 2001AudiS4 can definitely point you in the right direction

Shit thanks Joe. I appreciate it. I'll take a look at the links and see what it's all about. Good thing I checked Azine.
My buddy loves his Onkyo TX NR-525 he was able to snag that receiver on a deal for about $180... I'm trying to find it too but looks like everyone is selling them between 250+ Maybe I'll buy his off of him. I was to have my system done by the 4th of July. Sub speakers everything...

Yeah, the F12. I love it. Plus full 5 year warranty on woofer and amp, all incl. There's also a downfiring version but it doesn't have 5 year and I think they discontinued it, but also a very good sub. The BIC Acoustech pl200 was recently on sale for 250, it's range is a bit lower and is more efficient. Best sub in their lineup but still budget priced.

DV62s are solid.

Only for light duty/rears.. the B series also have a rear port, so you don't want to mount it snug against a wall. Not sure if that's going to work on those corner mounts (might need a new mount).

Some of those DV62s have been DOA.. seems like a common issue (only real neg review).

Just looking for a quality pair to compliment the studios that I just got for the front 3 channels

ah I see the ivory pair is $100 on Amazon.. I'm not familiar with them. They do seem to have a nice profile for rears.

Yeah, $100-140 is about my target range. I just spent a bunch of money on the studios, just want something nicer and newer than the rears that were thrown in

Z says they have zero bass / mid-bass, but you have freaking 3 12"s.. too much bass. 
He also says these are the best monitor speakers he's heard (better than Miccas, if you add sub). Just throw in a sub, tune it and listen away. FR starts at 80 Hz. Sounds like a solid pair of rears or monitors + sub. The Micca MB42 are $50 right now and MB42x is $80.. so if you want to save a little money, get those if the profile works for you.

I was originally looking at a 7.1 receiver for that room, but it's such a small space, I just can't see where I would put 2 more speakers

So I need a 7.1 receiver withe zones since I have speakers outside and will have 5 inside. 
about 1500 for everything... I really wanted to order those damn bic speakers with b10 for the rear..
Still researching because I am hearing I can still use a 5.1
