PSB Alpha series will fit that budget. I use a set of the Mini's for my surrounds and they have the same tonal qualities as my B&W mains. Very accurate reproduction for the money.

Mike Up, From your post it seems that you think that only those with poor receivers would not rely on the receiver to manage the bass. I assure you that I have a very good H/K receiver and I choose to use the sub crossover because I like it that way. Does a receiver know exactly *what kind of...

I am unfamiliar with SVS subs, so I don't know if this will work. My sub is designed so you can connect the front speaker cables to the sub and from there out cables go to the front speakers. The sub crossover takes care of the integration of the mains and sub. I have the fronts(smaller...

Actually, I have two ways that I can go with my fronts. The way I have them hooked up is by setting the fronts to "large" and then running the cables to the sub first and then using that crossover to engage the the front speakers. I don't use the cable out from the receiver to the sub. Not sure...

Yes, I've wondered about those guarantees too, but I feel better with the new, better surge protection. But also confused. I know very little about electricity and trying to compare what I bought with the others that were recommended is a little too much. I know that this one is 2601 Joules...

You probably won't even notice that you don't have a center chanel. Your front will act like stereo speakers and put the dialog in the middle of the sound stage. Sometimes when I am listening to stereo music, I could swear that my center speaker is working, but when I check, it isn't.

A couple of weeks ago we had a big wind storm. Our power was knocked out for a couple of hours and when it was restored, my H/K receiver wouldn't run in DD or DTS modes. I tried to reboot it a couple of time, but no luck. Took it to a repair shop and they were able to get it going. The service...

Two years ago, I bought a HK AVR65 from the HK outlet site. Factory reconditioned. I have read all the reliability issues related to this unit, but have had none myself. Maybe the person that originally owned it did. I have left about 5" of free space above it to avoid any heat problems and it...

This is confusing me. I have a HK AVR65 and find that -32 dlb is very loud for most DTS movies and for stereo music I find that - 42 is about as high as I can stand. Of course I have B&W 302 mains W/a PSB Subsonic 5 woofer, which are pretty efficient, I believe. Just the same, do people actually...

I find myself in the same situation. What I have found is that you can get a Pioneer Elite VSX-41 for $416.95, an Onkyo TX-SR600 for $378.95, a Kenwood VR-6070 (THX rated)for $404.95 and last, but not least, a Denon AVR1803 for $357.95. I know that the Onkyo and Denon are well thought of, but I...

I also like B&W speakers. You can have a very good system using the DM303 speakers and a PSB subsonic 5 sub. I listen to music way more than I watch movies and this combination is wonderful. With a B&W center and PSB surrounds, I spent about $1000. All are stereophile recommended components and...

It is always recommended that you use equal length speaker wire.

I use B&W DM302 mains and matching centerspeaker with an Alpha subsonic5 and find the sound very enjoyable. I believe that the B&Ws are similar to your Alphas, so I would think that maybe its the smaller sub that is the culprit. I do have an HK upper midprice receiver so that is also something...
