Albert thanks for taking the time in righting the detailed post and also a thanks goes to the others for their replies. I will be rereading them and will be looking at the B&K also to replace the Para that I have set aside. I don't have a dealer who is willing to let me do an in house demo even...

Albert, I hadn't concidered the B&K because I heard they were on the warmer side and I'm looking to get something that will be alittle more on the revieling side and show all the fine details. If you feel the B&K might fit the bill for what I'm looking for I'm all ears and would be willing to...

I'm looking at getting a pre-pro and have narrowed the search to the Rotel, Para and Anthem. I'm looking for input to those who have been able to compare these to each other and what the pros and cons are as the nearest dealer for any of these is 70mi all in different directions and hopefully...

I had the 200 Panny as my first reciever and I was and still am happy with the performance from it in my first HT consisting of Polk speakers (Rti70's, Csi-40, Rti38's and SVS PB2+). I still have it (in storage) and still do recommend it to someone on a budget. As for the others you mentioned I...

Tod, Rob and I have the same setup except I have 38's in the rear on (A) and 40's on (B) running from a Denon 3803 and I would highly recomend the Polks, they have a really good sound and blend very well together. My use is mostly HT and enjoy the experiance each and evey time. The SVS PB2+ has...

Ron just wanted to drop you a note and say thank you (SVS)for being so "ANAL". I as many of others here and elsewhere who have bought and recieved your product have never been happier. I'm one happy PB2+ owner. Dave

If you really feel the need to upgrade I would go with Polk RTI-70's for front but if you are happy with the 38's no need to change and would not change the Polks at all they are very good speakers. Dave

I did the freq. sweep with the sub too loud one time and stopped the sweep before it was done, the sonics were just too much and every room in the house was shaking, I almost couldn't see straight I felt my eyes starting to shake. I couldn't imagin what was going on in your house. Dave

I say go for it and don't wait long. I use the same speakers 2-70s'front, 40 fornt center, 2-fx-30's side, 2-38's rear I also have an extra 40 waiting for another 40 also for the rear so I can A/B the 38's and 40's for the rear. I'm using a Denon 3803 7.1 and the sound is excellant. If you can...

If you look at another set I would look at the rti-8's the extra mid will make a big differance in the sound I think you'll like. Dave

I run... Denon 3803 2--Rti-70's LF&RT front 1--csi-40 center front 2--fx-30's side 2--rti-38's rear also have 1 extra csi-40 and wanting another 40 for a/b in the rear 1--SVS PB2+ sub The polks are very clean and dollar for dollar IMO can't be beat. Have excellant sound. Dave

If I'm not mistaken even if you could go to Ron's (I think he is the on there) he has the B4 (that is what he told me when I ordered mine) and that just wouldn't be a fair audition comparison no matter what. Dave

Do the 8's they make for real good HT/music fronts, better then the 10's because of the 2-mids. I have a polk HT set-up with 70's as fronts and love-em. Dave

The 3802 is discontinued and will never be in stock again from what I've been told. I did that deal when it was for $648.06 a couple months ago and have never been happier after I got it set-up. Good luck guys Dave

Get the SVS and you will never be sorry. Which SVS are you looking at? Mine is the PB2+ and I have always been impressed with it. It eagerly takes all I can give it and has yet to even burp and does it cleanly. If you are to get a 10% discount that is all the more reason to get one, I was happy...
