    Help with an Infinity center substitution for a JBL N-Center II

    I have the Entra Center II and love it. How it will work with your fronts is another story. There are tons of posts discussing continuity between the 3 speakers. Nice strong vocals from the Entra Center 2.

    Floor Model Subwoofer

    Hey everyone, I bought a floor model sub. It sounds great to me (but that's not much consolation!). I am much better at determining quality with full range speakers, but Subs are new to me. How can I tell if the sub's sound quality is in good shape? Obviously, asthetically it is in perfect...

    60hz or 80hz Setting

    I changed my sub x-over to the max. What a difference. I originally set my sub x-over to match the receiver sub x-over point. Thanks for the tip. Dan.

    60hz or 80hz Setting

    I took the advice of the board and turned my sub x-over all the way to 150hz and let the HK do the crossover. I turned off the Center during Stereo or 5-way Stereo mode and set the x-over to 60hz instead of 80hz. I like the sound much better. Much fuller. Bass drum, etc. fills in much...

    Infinity Entra Series speakers....a good buy or not???

    I currently own Entra One's for the front/back, Entra Center 2 and Entra Sub One with a HK AVR520. These are nice starter speakers. I also didn't have money to jump any farther into better equipment. I would recommend the Center Two as well. I think it sounds amazing. Dialog to so full...
