    whoah nice setup :).

    Just curious tho and i know i've read a post of yours on this before but have you tried running with just one of the center speakers connected? does it really make a huuge diff with both of them? (been meaning to try a similar setup with small speakers like the Blackstones)

    Ah, didn't realize that was two speakers. It looked as if you had gotten another sub from the pic. Thanks.

    The Rogers are most likely already sold - I bet they will be sold by the end of the day

    That is impressive. Did you notice a significant improvement with 2 centers? How do you power those?

    Two centers are the way to go. It puts the vocals dead center of the TV with impact and precision. Love it -

    I am running them in Parallel with a 400 watt monoblock.

    Thanks guys - rest of the house is getting there... busting my **** doing work on the side to get the money to finish it and pay off some bills! :)

    I just run the center channel out of the receiver into the mono block - then it is parallel from there

    Whats cool is I got my wife to believe I am investing in all this gear now so when we build a new home in a couple years with a dedicated HT and a side listening area with a bar. That I can spend the money later on what she want in the house
