So - I've got Trey's BP10B towers as my main speakers, but I'd like to go with a 5.1 setup. A while back Trey suggested the C/L/R 1000 or C/L/R 2000 center channel, but I am unsure of which rear speakers will match the BP10B best.

Any ideas?

    I have some, I think they are BP2Xs. They were paired with CLR2002 as center in their original setup.

    Got them for my parents, but my Dad decided to go inwalls. The center has been sold, but I've still go these. Been thinking of keeping them for myself since they look so solid, but could be convinced to sell.

    They look really good, but I think the tops were touched up somewhere along the way. I can snap some pics, if you like.

    Other di/bipoles they have that might match those towers might be BP1.2x and BPX.

    In that case, I would need to ship them :)

    For some reason, I thought you might be from Tejas. . . please forgive my insolence.

    That's the powered center, right?

    If that's the case, I need to find a looooooooong extension cord :)

    It is powered. It does have it's own amp....Phenom center. Why would you need a long extension cord, if it's centered on your display, reciever, mains, possible sub(s)?...Based on a standard 5.1 setup, where a power source would be available for the center. A power issue might come into play if you were to choose the bpvx, powered surrounds, which is why I chose not to go with them. The bpx surrounds are also phenom surrounds.
