My HT setup is centered around my new Onkyo TX-DS595. I've decided to use vintage speakers to begin with and would be interested in how some of you feel about vintage speakers compared to modern ones. My speaker setup consists of a pair of Wharfedale W35s in front. These are walnut bookshelf types which are 3 ways with an 8" woofer. The rear surrounds are Pioneer CS66e which are also 3 ways with 8" woofers but are just a bit larger than the Wharfedales. The center channel is a modern Infinity with dual 5" speakers plus a tweeter and I'm using a Sony SAW-M40 Sub Woofer. So far I've been really pleased with the sound on both music and DVD movies but don't have much to compare to in the way of modern speakers. I can really crank it up with movies like The Matrix, Saving Private Ryan, Jurrasic Park, etc.and the moving sound seems very similiar from front to back. I just would like to hear from some of you who have opinions on these old speakers for Home Theater. Thanks for any feedback,
