    $3500 5.1 Speaker budget - help!!

    ALl these choices are great, IF I can add one I would say the PSB stratus line IMHO cannot be beat for the buck. I have heard speakers almost twice the price that didn't sound as good.... The sound stage is amazing. Do yourself a faver and listen to these speakers... regards, harvey

    question on speaker settings

    Hi Brent, unfortunately I do not have an adjustable xover. It is set by the receiver@ 80 hz, however, with that said, my paradigm pw-2200 has an adjustable built in crossover that goes from 40 to 150 I believe. I assume that in order to use that x-over I would have to hook up my sub via...
