I have a feeling that the gap between my main and center is probably much wider than yours - or most for that matter. Maybe I should have mentioned earlier that I have a sensitivity to sound though I don't know if it would have made any difference in your recommendations.
So...what dictates...
oops, yes, it goes away when both are set to large.
I really don't understand much about the different types of audio codes. I started on this quest when the built in Panasonic TV media player wouldn't play hardly any of the files I have and found it easier to just get a receiver than to try...
Yep - you're right, it's a headache. I tried messing with it while waiting for an answer and it doesn't work. I then read a Panasonic thread about the Viera Link/ARC thing only works if all electronics are Panasonic.
I also read that there is some sort of bandwidth limitation when you use the...
My lack of electronics knowledge is certainly apparent. I don't have a cable STB since I cut the cable cord a long time ago but comcast provides basic cable channels when you subscribe to their internet plan. I have coax coming in through the wall where it is split and goes to my computer and...
So, I'm pretty pleased with my setup, especially since it's been years since I actually had a receiver and I can finally hear and understand the dialog. I've got everything connected the way I want it for the most part but I'm having trouble trying to figure out how to make it work with the TV...
I don't have a subwoofer and the receiver automatically changes subwoofer to "yes" when I try to change the main speakers to small. Then there is the matter of LFE and LFE+main (though I don't have a sub so I don't know if that makes a difference). My main objective is to reduce as much...
Thank you! I got it working but have a question. I read something about the speakers being set to small even if they are floor models. When doing the setup, the center was small but it set the 2 main floor speakers as large. Should that be changed? I don't have a sub, just a 3.0.
Edit...
Hi guys - So, I have the receiver and ended up buying the BIC America 62CLRS and the DV84 speakers. Last night I hooked everything up and started the auto setup but it doesn't detect the center speaker. I moved the wires around to narrow down the problem and the speaker itself works fine. I...
::whew:: Thanks - will do. REALLY appreciate your input.
EDIT:
Also wondering about 2 way vs 3 way. If 3 way acts somewhat like a center speaker but on a smaller scale, would that enhance or interfere with the center?
And also wondering what Sam thinks about the reference series of the...
I set my alarm for 7:45am which gives me about 8 minutes to check your response before I go bid on the Lsi7's. After reading the description and your regrets for selling them, seems like I should own them. They seem WAY cool and I'm kinda excited. Can't go wrong for $250, yes? If I'm not...
Should I get these? Looks like a good deal. Only one bidder and it's ending in 9 hours. Would need help with a center. (Also, I made a post containing several links for Klipsch deals on ebay but the moderator intercepted for review and I don't know how long that takes)...
Okey doke. How about these:

While I'm waiting:
There are polk r300's on sale for really cheap ($59) that are normally $200. I can't seem to find any info on this model.
The Premier Acoustic PA 8C just came to my attention. It says it has the clearest sounding tweeter on the market today.
Your opinion on these two?
That helps. I think what made me panic was that a Polk thread mentioned how much better the CS2 sounded with the 60's and that there was a huge difference in sound from 50 to 60 but not so much difference from 60 to 70. Then reading about a great match that Denon and Klipsch make just made me...
ugh. You guys. It's 4am and I couldn't sleep. Had to cancel the speaker order. I have to stop reading all those forums. I'm going to stop being so impatient and just wait for the right sale. I feel good about the 591 I just bought but not the speakers. Tell me if I'm wrong but this is now...
Ya know...I think if I didn't spend so much time in such a small space I could justify spending the money for bigger better speakers. Since I have no listening experience and nothing to compare to, I figure I can absorb a $253 mistake easier than a $418 one.
GAWD Thank you!! I sure ended up going down a whole different path and I really can't thank you guys enough. I went with the monitors and cs2 with the logic that if they don't work, I can sell and recoup some of the loss and get a different set. I'm thinking that they will give me some...
Nevermind I saw the nightmode feature. I bought it.
So now it's between the Newegg Polk monitor 50 II towers and the cs2 center $253 (my preference) or
Fry's Polk rti8 with csi3 center. $418 (huge discount but didn't know if it's worth the extra money)
Please advise....
Okay. That makes me feel better. I have two more questions and I think I might be able to make a decision. First, would you mind taking a look at this thread and tell me what you think? It could have been me asking the question, my issues are so similar - especially when you read post #29...
Hey, I can do towers. Cash is just harder to come up with. Have lots of good credit though. I responded to his ad, lets see what happens. Will have to borrow money from my ex to make it work.
Wish I could afford to have a set up like Sam's. The right speakers in the right room for the right...
Sorry about all the hand holding. I am spending all day every day looking, researching and asking with the hope of finding - and being satisfied with - the right components.
You seem to be all over the accessories4less reseller and their refurbished stuff. It makes me nervous but - if I trust...
It's sad that I have to sacrifice quality for all the added features that I don't need. And yes I need the upconversion since my TV (and I heard that this is pretty typical now for all newer flatscreens) has NO other connection types besides HDMI and a digital optical, not even a friggin...
What are your thoughts on this Klipsch speaker system?

EDIT: and these get consistent 5 star ratings. Could they be mix and matched with different model center speakers as long as they were from the same Manufacturer? I've been reading...
Okay I'll get the Marantz.
I don't know if I need a sub or not - you need to tell me.
Do I really need those huge speakers??? Remember, I'm in a small bedroom and 8 feet from every electronic I own - including the new speakers. I don't care about the "feeling" of being in a theater, I don't...
Okay. I cancelled the order. GAWD, how frustrating. So I can get the Marantz new at Amazon for $329 or the Yamaha 373 (as opposed to the 473) at Newegg for $249. Is the Marantz worth the extra $80? If you think so, then I'll buy it.
So lets go back to the Klipsch. Can I get away with a...
