Tat would be a good choice, too. Make sure you get a good subwoofer cable, though. The Rocketfish brand would be adequate enough, and they may even have an open box of one.

Thanks. I picked it up with a gold cable. I have to figure out how set the low pass, gain, and phase. Is there a baseline I can work off of for these?

There should be instructions with both the sub and the receiver as to the settings on the sub. In most cases, Phase should be at 0, Level should be at 50%, and LowPass should be cranked all the way to the right. The speaker calibration program on the receiver should do the rest. Connection the subwoofer cable from the Sub/LFE Pre-Out on the receiver to the L/LFE input on the subwoofer.

Ok, so I have everything together and working nicely. I’m looking to upgrade the center speaker in my setup. Right now I’m using one of the Bose redlines. Anyone have some good recommendations?

Match the center to the brand/model you use for the fronts.

 

[Blwnfive0]

So stick with redlines then.

 

[JQuintana]

If that's your only option vs. buy 3 new fronts.

I would eventually upgrade to a full matching speaker system.

I have the 5 redlines and klipsch sub. Sounds pretty good. Just with some movies I have trouble hearing voice when system volume isn’t high enough.

You can go into the speaker configuration settings and adjust the level of the center speaker to help boost dialogue.
