Interestingly, there's a German guy just started a post over at AVS with pics of his 3.6 setup driven by what looks like a Pathos integrated amp and Planet CDP. HT with Maggies can be great if you have the room size and equipment (amp and SW) to complement them. PF

Exactly Curtis. I had a hard time telling b/w two pair of speakers even with a switch just because I have to get up, physically flip that switch then get back to the sweet spot and replay the same music passage again. A reasonable quality switch shouldn't affect the sound any more than many...

Still own & love those Diva's. In fact after finally giving away the Def Tech's, my home now features the entire AV123 line up with Diva's doing HT and Rockets in charge of HiRez/MC music. :) PF

John, I suggest you hook up your speakers to a friend's functioning system to see if the problem persists for I had kinda the same problem intermittently till I finally decided to change interconnects within the path of the problem system. It so turned out one of them has a loosed solder and...

Pete, Max Yokell (over @ HTT) now owns the Rocket setup in place of his Klipsch Legend KLF system. I think him & David were both @ Mike Knapp's Florida Rocket demo a while back. May be you should contact him & arrange for a listen. PF

Bjorn in San Antonio still runs the same buy one get second half off sale once every year. In fact I bet their last one in March this year ran for almost two months. They do carry Boston, Klipsch, Phase Tech, Def Tech, M&K besides B&W. Of course there's always Bose. :) PF

That's a pretty good budget esp if you shop around here in the US, not knowing if you're actually doing this in Malaysia though. For speakers @ that price range you really have to listen for yourself to decide. FWIW there's a brand new review on the Rockets just went up on the Audio...

Go to HTT and check out Max's impression on the Rockets. PF

JD, have you gone over the AVS long Rocket thread? There's at least one user in Austin who just got his entire Rocket setup. If you don't mind travelling I have the Rocket 750/200/300 setup and am about to do a demo to several folks from around the area (in fact one of them will be coming down...

DeT, you got PM. :) PF

DeT, Spokane WA should have other Diva or even Rocket owners. Have you post @ AVS or submit request @ AudioEnvy to see if anyone out there can help? As for wiring change you can just swap the two speaker terminals to the C3 @ the back of your receiver. Btw, when I said 'mistakes', I mean those...

DeT, there's no reason for you to accept compromised performance esp given the quality of equipment you have. That said I have to agree with Rich that your entertainment center probably bears most of the problem. First off it wouldn't hurt to borrow some other center speakers to see how they...

DeT, please tell us about your C3 setup (a pic would be nice) see if we can somehow help make it sound better. I have a Def Tech setup with the CLR2000 center and can tell you the C3 doesn't give away much to the Def Tech at all. PF

Brook, if your Sony has all the formats/features you need and has preamp outs I suggest you look for a new or used 2/3 channel amp to take the load of the receiver's amp section. I bet this would beat the sound of any new $500 receiver. PF

Phil, it's funny you brought this up for I tried to e-mail you on more than one occasion without success figured you must have changed your addy. My amps were actually delivered a few weeks before the 'meltdown' which I'll be glad to share with you my experience later on off-line. As good the...
