Hi, all, I'm new here!

As of this very moment, we have:

JBL CST55 X 4 for front and rear towers
JBL CSC55 Center
JBL CSS55 Sub.

Pioneer VSX-81TXV receiver.

A little concerned, one of the CS Towers rattled when we moved it....hubby is returning it as I type. We tested these at Tweeter, and after looking at a ton of options, this was just the best deal for what we wanted and the sound was quite nice. H. H. Gregg was closing them out at $200 less than we'd been seeing them anywhere else. I was shocked that the Klipsch we listened to sounded very similar, we expected a big difference, but when we saw the price drop, we let our budget make the decision. Now we have a great receiver! :)

Still gonna check around on the forums though... :) Hope these work out well, but the ones we tested sounded great. Strange, though, going from an old 12in speaker to something so small...We wanted 7.1 but at the moment we are not in our dream media room, so we hope to expand someday. AND if we don't get the rattle fixed, out the door they go! I hope it's just a fluke.

Sort of new here as well... I just lurk mostly ;).

At the moment:
Klipsch RB-35 Fronts
Klipsch RC-35 Center
Klipsch RS-35 Surrounds
No Sub :(

I have had this setup for two years now and still love it!

Funny, I listen to my system and I say "I can't imagine anything sounding better than this" then I upgrade something and say it all over again and I'm still on the lower rungs of the ladder compared to most of the systems on this thread. Anyway, here we go:

PSB Image 6T - Fronts
PSB Image 9C - Center
Design Acoustics PS10 - Rear surround

Yamaha HTR - 5280 - Pre-amp
Rotel RB956AX - 6 channel amp 30wpc
Yamaha DVD-C750 - DVD/CD changer
Samsung 52" HD TV

Don't do what I just did. I went to a not so local shop to pick up some new cabling for my system. After paying for my cables the owner wanted me to listen to a few tracks on one of the systems he had. Sure, why not. Big mistake. It was phenomenal. It was an Audio Research/Kimber/Vandersteen setup. The pre-amp was $10k so I'm guessing the whole setup was $30k-ish. It blew my NAD flagships out of the water. Luckily after getting back home and listening to my measly system for a few days, the memory of his is fading and mine is starting to sound good again. :)

Den/HT
Fronts - Polk Audio RT55i
Center - Polk Audio CS400i
Side Surround- Polk Audio RT25i
Rear Surround- Polk Audio RT38i
Sub - SVS PB12+/2
All Driven with an HK pre/pro and an Adcom Amplifier.

Kitchen/DR have Polk Audio RC8i with the HK pre and an Onkyo MT-504.

I've got two setups at this point:

Living Room (stereo)
NAD C542 CD Player
NAD C352 Stereo Integrated Amp
Acoustic Energy Aegis Evo 3 Tower Speakers

I've had the above setup for about 3 years and am very happy with it.

Home Theater (5.1)
Onkyo TX-SR702 7.1 channel AV Receiver
Wharfedale Diamond 9.5 Towers
Wharfedale Diamond 9.CM Centre
Wharfedale Diamond 9.DFS Bipole Surrounds
Wharfedale Diamond SW150 Subwoofer

The Onkyo/Wharfedale system is brand new--in fact, I'm still waiting for delivery (next week) of the speakers. Very excited about it, they sure sounded great in the showroom. But I am a little unsure about the SW150 Subwoofer and whether output levels and deep base movie impact will be enough for the mid-sized home theatre I'm currently building. It sounded a little small at the shop.

I am a born again stereophile, having just abandoned HT and a much beloved but little used Monitor Audio Radius 5.1 set-up.

Currently I'm running a wonderful pair of Mission M32i/Marantz SR5400 Receiver & DV4400 DVD/CD Player in the living room & a pair of Mission M70/NAD L53 DVD/Receiver in the den. However, this is only temporary, as I'm fairly certain I will purchase one of the new x-series offerings from AV123, perhaps the X-Pro or X-Omni, only time will tell. If the new x-series don't pan-out, I will quickly snatch-up a pair of Ohm Acoustic MicroWalsh Talls and put this matter to rest.

Besides the Monitor Audio Radius speakers (R90, R180, R360), I've owned a pair of Boston Acoustic CR77 (sold), a pair of Infinity Alpha 20/Pioneer VSX-D514 Receiver/Pioneer DV-563A DVD/CD Player (with Brother), the Polk R15 (in closet for emergency), and a pair of Optimus PRO LX-8 (placed with Cousin); I own a Cambridge Audio 540A Integrated Amp & 540D DVD/CD Player (hiding from the wife at this time), and a vintage mint-condition Kenwood KR-6600 Receiver I picked out of the garbage and would like to make room for someday soon (also hiding from the wife).

I marked the Surrounds with a * since my kenwood VR-407 is only a 5.1 receiver, but I plan to upgrade to the Onkyo TX-SR505 soon and so when purchasing speakers, I wanted to make sure I had all that I could possibly need in the future and not end up with mismatched speakers (like my old setup).

I am really impressed with these speakers. I bought the whole setup (other than the sub) for about 270 bucks delivered (Ebay and MCMinone). They blow away my old mismatched JBL set that I paid almost as much for the center as I did for all 6 speakers in this setup (my old setup was a bunch of mismatched JBL's though so that skewed this review). Even my wife can tell a huge difference.

Thanks for the recommendations every one!

Realistic Mach II (circa 1985) front speakers
JBL Northridge Center N-Series
Lafayette Criterion 25 surround speakers (circa 1970)
Sony SS-MB150H Surround Back
Sony STR-DE995 Receiver

I know, I know it's time for some new speakers. A new everything for that matter! The Realistics have 15" woofers and weigh as much as small (old) room air conditioners - (I never needed a subwoofer). The foam surrounding the woofer on the right one is deteriorating - but they still sound good.
Does anyone remember Lafayette Radio? It was the worst single-performing stock of the 70's. But their speakers were bulletproof! Lafayette was better than Radio Shack in their day. They even had their own brand of reel to reel tape recorders when that was a hot item- before Sony and Panasonic were well known.
But since I sold my NJ house and moved to NC with lots of spare change, it will soon be time to go shopping!!

My system:

2x Dynaudio Confidence C1 w/Stand2 mounts (front left/right)
Dynaudio Confidence Center
2x JBL N24 (surround left/right) - when budget permits I'll probably switch these out to Contour S1.4s
Dynaudio SUB500 subwoofer

Proceed AVP surround processor
EAD PowerMaster 6300 (300Wx6) power amp
Denon DVD-1920 universal disc player
Rega Planet CD player
Panasonic PV-9661 VCR
Scientific Atlanta Explorer 8300HD cable box
AudioQuest interconnects and speaker wire all around

Despite the processor being a bit fussy at times, I like my system :)

I have Polk Audio RM10 - 6 Sats, 1 Center for my surround sound speakers and a Polk Audio PSW12 12" subwoofer. Also an Onkyo TX-SR604 Receiver

Based on earlier threads, the Boston Acoustics CR-67's will be a great addition as surround back speakers. How do they compare to the BA vr-mx or vr-mex, or mini's as surround backs? Any thoughts or suggested alternatives?

The following is my current setup:

Reciever: Denon 887
Mains: VR3
Center: VRC
Surrounds:VR1
Back Surrounds: Polk 15's (Just for now)
SW: XB8
Cables: Blue Jeans
HD Display: Mitsubishi WD65733
HDVD/Games: Sony Playstation3 - Blu Ray HD

PSB Stratus Bronze for L & R
PSB C-7 for Center
PhaseTech PC 80's for rear L and R (leftovers from an older system; they do a great job and are surprisingly well balanced tonally with the PSBs)
Driving all with an older gen Sony DA90ESG (110w/5ch)
Sub is a 15" AudioSonic (100w/internal), stuffed to the max w/glass.
Room is 25x35.

Klipsch all around

RF3 II's in the front
RC3 II for the center
SB1's for the surrounds

M&K 12" SW

Kenwood VR 4900 (130w/ch)

Magnepan 1.6 QRs for now; Maggie center and surrounds to follow soon, hopefully!

Purchased a pair of era D5's and a Sub 8 to replace an aging / oversized Klipsch 5.1 setup that didn't fit the new room. Still driven by the same Sony amp though (next thing on the upgrade list).

They are truly amazing -- if you're in the market, make sure you audition the era units before making a final decision.

Yes, lot's of time and money into this rig. But the results are outstanding.

ML rocks! Nice system.

Hi I have a Bose Lifestyle 36 system and for video have been very happy. I have just bought an apartment to use during the week. I have opted for the Anthony Gallo Adiva Ti series speakers and they are yet to arrive. The Bose lacks musicality. Anyone u :) sing the Gallos.

RBH CT-MAX 5.1 for about 1 year, very compact but not as good as my old maggies MG-I.

Will look for something else, again.

I have Polk Audio RM10 - 6 Sats, 1 Center for my surround sound speakers and a Polk Audio PSW12 12" subwoofer. Also an Onkyo TX-SR604 Receiver

Polk just issued new RM10 - 5 Pack satellites on July 04, 2007 - do you know if these are basically the same as yours? Are you happy with the sound and do you know if they would satisfy dvd-audio and sacd clarity?

Thanks for your help...

I thought I'd update my original post. I ended up replacing everything with Infinity Betas. My new setup is:

Front L&R: Beta 50

In the near term, I'll be using the es250's as both side and back surrounds. Eventually, I'll get two more speakers. I'll use the es250's for the sides, but I'm uncertain whether to use two more for the backs, or to get direct radiators like the Beta 10's or Beta 20's.

Yeah, I need to clean out some inventory, but I just can't part with them. The BP-30s hardly even need a sub. It's pretty amazing what can come from four 6.5" drivers....

I'm sure the Von Schweikerts were a very nice upgrade though. Probably moreso on music, or do you think all the way around?

Umm, An excellent music upgrade (IMO of course :) ) It is also noticeable on movies because the imaging on the VS is fantastic. For all out slam tho the def techs still held their own. WITH 61/2 DRIVERS LMAO!!! also the early Def Tech's were also top bang-for your buck speakers.

I had bp20's in front and bp10's in back, just awesome speakers. I went on to sell def techs about the time that those were already phased out for about 2 years. They began putting the subs in the speakers and began using hard-domed tweeters at that point so I became less fond of them. But I sold a crapload of them because they absolutely rocked for HT.

Hey guys I just got into some real speakers for the first time last week. Slowing building up as funds allow. So far I've got the following:

2 Klipsch RVX-54's (very high WAF:))

powered by a Yamaha 1700

still running on my old JBL Pro series L7's in the front. i can't drive myself to get rid of them. i have pissed off my neighbors multiple times:D

bi-wired with my Yamaha 5590.

main: Dahlquist DQ-12 (got them in 1990)
center: none
sub: Velodyne cht-8
rear/surround: Infinity Primus 150

All Klipsch

Front KG5.5
Center RC-62
Rear RS-52
Sub RSW-10d

Mostly Paradigm.

Living Room:

Paradigm Studio 60s v.1
Paradigm CC-470 v.3

Home Theater:

Paradigm Studio 20s (3) v.3
Radio Shack LS-5 (surround)
Velodyne FSX-12 (2)

New AV123 Rocket setup, upgraded from a Velodyne Front Row system:

RS760 fronts
RSC200 Sig center
Ref 0.5 surrounds
JBLs120pII sub

The sub might be upgraded later this year, but pretty happy with this setup so far!

Don't think I ever posted here, so....

Pair of NHT Classic 4's, 2c center, and absolute zero rears.
In SLC/Holladay Ut.

Here's what I got recently (07/2007):

Front L/R = Polk Audio R50
Center = Polk Audio CSR
Surround L/R = Polk R150
Subwoofer = BIC H-100

Driven by an Onkyo 304 Receiver and mainly used to watch movies on my Home Theater with the following:
- Optoma HD70
- Samsung DVD-1080P7 with HD Upconversion
- 96" DIY screen

Inside:

Front L/R = Polk Monitor 40's
Center = Polk Audio CS2
Surround L/R/C = Sony HTIB
Subwoofer = Sony HTIB

Outside - BYT

Front L/R = Polk Audio Atrium 55's
Surround L/R = Infinity Outrigger's

Just bought a Denon 3808CI and I am using a Boston Acustics series 8000 speaker system. I want to upgrade to fron towers, new center channel sub and rears looking for some insight as to where to go with this, thinking of Definitive tech 7002 center channel and super cube

ANy help would be great

Currently running SDAT-800 front towers with some older but nice Kenwood center and surround sound speakers. I know they aren't the greatest but it sounds nice. Looking to upgrade for winter since I won't be able to get outside at all.

Paradigm 7's
Paradigm 3SE's
Paradigm CC170.

HT (mishmosh system, in transition):
Onkyo TX-SR702
B&W DM602 S2 mains (at least for now)
BIC DV62CLR-S center w/Ed Frias xover mods (Don't laugh, it's not bad)
Boston Acoustics CR-75 surrounds (soon to be Ascend CBM-170SE or SVS SBS-01)
SVS PB10-ISD
TV: Nothing to speak of, plain Panasonic CRT til I can afford sump'n BIG :D

Mixing room (2.1 chan. -- I offer live 24-track digital recording services):
PowerMac dual G5 2.0
Vintage Luxman LV-117 Integrated Amp (2-chan)
BIC DV62CLR-S pair with Ed Frias mods (soon to be Ascend CBM-170SE or SVS SBS-01)
Hsu VTF-2 Mk 2 (on sale in delicious piano black!)

I'm pre-ordering a pair of both the Ascend CBM-170SEs and the SVS SBS-01s for comparison against each other and the B&Ws. I'll settle on each set's permanent home after extensive house-rocking sessions. :D
Wow, a lot can change in a year and a half!

Current system (all in one stupidly small but acoustically treated room):

Mains: Swan 5.2F
Center: Swan 5.2C
Surrounds: Ascend CBM-170SE
Sub: SVS PB10-ISD

All happily driven by Emotiva LMC-1 pre/pro and LPA-1 6-7 chan. amp.

On the way: One gorgeous pair Swan D2.1SE! After evaluating I'll decide where these will live permanently...

Paradigm Monitor system:
Monitor 5 L/R
CC370 centre
ADP 370 sides
Titan rears
PW 2100 sub.

Usually end up with JBL 4410 studio monitors I scrounged from a recording studio as L/R because they're too big for the living room and the Monitor 5s aren't.

RF-10 Home Theater System

# RF-10 Floorstanders
# RC-10 Center
# RS-10 Surrounds
# RW-10d instead of the RPW-10 Subwoofer

OK, I wanted to ask a question so here's my speaker setup:
All Von Schweikert V-2s for surround (4) plus a V.S. LCR center channel. V.S. small subwoofer. Plus Paradigm Atoms for side/height channels.

My problem: Running white or pink noise tones, my center channel speaker has an entirely different timbre from the L & R towers. Affects balance of the 3-channel SACDs from RCA, Mercury & Everest - also using ProLogic II. V.S. says it should match well because of the same tweeter and similar woofer, but it doesn't. Probably sitting on a low floor stand and tilted up instead of higher and straight ahead as with the towers is a factor. And being much smaller, of course. I changed the tubes on the monoblock powering it to match those in the other two monoblocks, but it didn't make a difference. The rear VR-2s are powered with a 200w solid state amp, and only single cable instead of bi-wired, yet sound almost identical to the fronts. Any ideas short of using an old EQ unit on just the center channel? (I had one and unfortunately sold it some time ago...)

ascend acoustics 340se(LCR)
170se side surrounds

Dynaudio Contour 3.4 and sc center and Dyaudio in walls for rears. How do you like your contour bookshelfs? and what are you using to drive them??

But I'll be upgrading soon (Klipsch Reference or Paradigm Monitors)

Living Room
O
Bedroom
Klipsch SB3
Yamaha sa205 sub

Dana 630
Onix X-Sub

And that's all. :) If I upgrade anything, it'll be to add more channels. I can't imagine wanting anything else.

I posted this in another thread (just noticed this one):

I ditched the surround sound game a while ago, which may be blasphemous around here (actually, my HK + Polk LSi system wasn't bad, for digital).

Now, I have Tyler Acoustics Taylo Reference Monitors (and a 10" Tyler Sub... actually, 2 of the subs, but I just moved to a 400 sq ft apt, and only need one now).
I think shopping for speakers was one of the most time-consuming research/trial & error events of my life... what a hassle. Luckily, I'm happy with the Tylers.

Speakers

Conventional: Akron Concerto / Akron Spalla
Hybrid system: Akron Resolution / Akron Transparency
Planar: Akron AS 40 / Akron AS 40 SE
Sub: Akron SHE 500

I've got recently a pair of Akron Spalla (http://www.akronaudiotec.com.br/akronspallaeng.htm) Speakers and a Bass Unit Speaker (http://www.akronaudiotec.com.br/bassunitspeaker.htm), both from Akronaudiotec. Only a few days ago but until now, it sounds pretty good!

I picked up a set of Carver Amazing Loudspeakers, Silver models, (a.k.a. "surfboards") about 10 or 15 years ago. A buddy got a pair of the Platinums at the same time. We both wanted black at the time, but all we could get was oak. Now I think I like the oak better anyway. :)

I run them off of a trusty old Luxman R-117, and I still love 'em!

I have a set of Bose (I know, I know!) Acoustimass 10 II speakers that I picked up in 2001 at a local Sears. They are pretty horrible for any serious music listening (too mid-rangey for my tastes) but are ok for movies and gaming.

I've been saving money for a new speaker system which will either be SCS-01(M) Speaker Package from SVS, the 'People's Choice' speaker package from Orb Audio, or (if I win the lottery) the System 4200e from Atlantic Technology.

Just purchased a set of KEF KHT 3005 speakers and sub, excellent sound, heavy for bookshelves, look fantastic in 2 pac black, wife loves them too. These have won so many international awards last year and this, owners reviews elsewhere give them a 9 out of max 10.

For the moment I only have a stereo setup. But I am running a pair of Martin-Logan Montage (Cherry Finish) with a Denon DRA-397. When I have the time and budget, I'll be going H/T with a Definitve/ Pioneer Elite setup in a separate room.
