    Thanks!! The center sounds great. I was a little apprehensive about the location. It's a PolkAudio CS2 so it has the reversible angled side for locations down low, the drivers are angled up toward the listener. The cabinet door has an acoustic fabric panel and I did the EQ with the door closed. When the lights are out, you can't tell the difference.

    If I do it will be for the HT set-up I have, but build to sell? It would be expensive and shipping would cost$$$ as well. I have about 40hrs in labor alone.

    That looks fantastic on your table!!! I almost bought 2 albums and put the disks in a frame. I guess TOOL signed a few copies of that album and fetch some good coin today.

    So in my HT setup I have never been happy with the center channel, mostly due to the resulting acoustic because of where it had to be placed (under the TV). Since I had a spare hca1000, I figured why not try the M60s as dual centers... lol!

    I have to say...Worked out quite nicely! Much better than anything else I have tried so far :smile:
