Home theater/stereo?
 

I was testing out the Klipsch RF82's at work the other day. :dribble: They are going on my list of things I want. I need a bigger house first but I want those speakers. I also want the rears, center and sub to go with them.

What is everyone else running?

Boston Acoustics VR 40 fronts, VR 12 center, VR 500 powered subwoofer and the VR dipolar rears with a second smaller powered subwoofer.

Older Bose Acoustimass 15 system. It sucks huge. The only saving grace is I bought it used from a friend for a fraction of the normal price.

I would like to do some nice front tower speakers but with the state of current systems I don't really think it is worth it. Towers are good for base, but now that is handled by a sub anyway. You may be better off getting some larger bookshelf speakers for the front and running one or two quality subs. If I were to build a system today it would consist of Polks for the full range speakers, a CS2 for the center channel, Monitor 40s for L/R front, and 2 pair of Monitor 30s for the surrounds. You can be all in on the "7" portion of a 7.1 system for $500 with the deals Newegg is running. Spend whatever is left on a sub or two.

HK AVR20
B&W DM302s
B&W ASW500

I do want to upgrade my receiver to something with HDMI inputs though.

gonna get a soundbar of some sort or bose cinemate setup, keep it simple adn clean.

I'm old skool I guess...

Cerwin E-76C
DCM KX-12's
Cerwin LS6 surrounds x2
Cerwin 15' downfiring sub that I've had for 15 years. It just won't die and pounds harder than anything I've ever heard in a house.

I have a Denon receiver, Cerwin Vega front, center, and rears and I am running a 10" Paradigm sub. All my stuff is recessed into the walls with the rears in the ceiling. I'll get a pic of my setup tonight and post it.

How do the rears sound?

The true afficionados are against ceiling mounted rears but I'm wondering about how noticeable it is to us mortals...

My rears are not the circle kind mounted inside the ceiling. They are the rectangle kind that I have mounted at an angle so they are pointing at the main seating area. I love the sound of them. I'll get a pic tonight.
