    Pinnacle Speakers

    I can't comment on the Black Diamond series specifically (although I read the review in HT magazine),but I have been a very satisfied Pinnacle speaker owner for about 3 years now (Aerogel towers for the front L/R,Mini-gold center and Baby Boomer sub).Their customer service is also excellent.

    Upgrading Current Receiver to separates

    John, I was powering my Pinnacles (Aerogel towers and Classic Gold mini-center)with a Denon 5700 receiver and the setup sounded great.But then I also decided to go the separates route and first added a Acurus 200x3 amp to power the front 3 channels.Nice improvement-lower and tighter...

    BAD ideas for sequels.

    A PRE/PRO WHEN? - A sequel to Apocalypse Now where Capt. Willard waits impatiently in the jungles of suburban America waiting for the latest audio offering from Outlaw. I STILL KNOW WHAT YOU DID 2 OR 3 SUMMERS AGO - Jennifer Love Hewitt in a tank top-again.Probably worth a look. THE NEXT TO...

    Comments on Pinnacle ?

    Marty, The Polk LS/fx surrounds are a close timbre match with my Pinnacle's using my receiver's (Denon AVR5700)test tones as well as Avia's and with (more importantly)movies and multi-channel music.Bass is not a factor as I set the Polk's to "small" as they only go down to 80hz.

    Comments on Pinnacle ?

    I'm a VERY happy owner of Pinnacle speakers- Classic Gold Aerogel Towers in the front,Classic Gold Mini-Center,and BabyBoomer sub (I have a pair of Polk LS/fx's for my surrounds since Pinnacle doesn't make dipole/bipoles.They match very well with the Pinnacles).

    Towers vs. Surrounds; Axiom vs. Pinnacle

    Carlyle, I have been the very,very happy owner of a pair of Pinnacle's Classic Gold Aerogel Towers for over a year now (along with a Classic Gold Mini-center and BabyBoomer sub).$1900 is a fantastic price for all 5 speakers (the Aerogels go for $1200-$1300 alone).I also bought mine cheaper...

    Pinnacle Quantums. Love the way they look. How do they sound? Help!

    I haven't heard the Quantums yet,but like the last 2 posters I'm a very satisfied Pinnacle owner (Aerogel towers,Mini Center,and Baby Boomer sub).If you can't find them locally,I believe they sell their products factory direct- check their website.

    How about a Tool thread?

    I agree with Bill - I think Tool gets better with each album.I saw them live for the first time Oct. 4th - absolutely stunning.IMHO Danny Carey is the best drummer in Rock n'Roll.

    A question for AVR-5700 owners

    I'm looking to add a three channel amp to my Denon AVR-5700 to power the front three channels.If I hook this amp up to the receivers left,right,and center pre-outs,will the Denon's internal amps still power the surrounds?
