Hi guys-
Thanks for the advice on my receiver dilemma last week- I ended up buying the Yamaha RX-V2200. It is a great receiver, very solid power, with good detail and a real "heft" to the sound that the Sony STR DA5ES was totally lacking. No kidding, I REALLY wanted to love the Sony (2 multichannel analog inputs, RS232 upgrade port, etc.) but the 2-channel sound was as weak as I've heard. Funny how the $300 less (list) Yamaha kicks its butt in amplification (even funnier since that Sony ES receiver must outweigh the Yamaha by a good 10 lbs.). I even like some of the DSP modes, especially ProLogic II. Anyhow...
My next dilemma is this: what to use for a rear center channel? I am currently using RT800 fronts, CS400 center, and RT55 surrounds. Should I grab another RT55 for the rear center, or maybe one of the FX series? The Yamaha does DTS ES Discrete, if that matters. Decisions, decisions...
Thanks for any advice,
Tommy

if you are going for a single 6th channel center surround, i would recommend either the cs400i or cs245i. preferable the cs400i. if you are thinking you will upgrade shortly to 2 rear centers(or 7.1) i would suggest rt35i's or rt25i's...
good luck...:D -
You could it the way Juice said. Or you could put your 55i in the rear and buy f/x500i for the sides. That would sound awesome!
Good Luck!

Agree with lax, that is, IF you are going to configure a 7.1 system. Otherwise, I agree with The Juice.
