Thanks for the replies....I currently have the Procinema 1000, and it looks like im going to hang onto it. Ive been pretty satisfied and at the 110 wpc the pioneer puts out and its high sensitivity it works well, im still playing with the volume to be sure it is loud enough though.
Im going to take your suggestion and get the 7004's i believe along with the bp's for surround.
you guys seem to know def tech pretty well, any concerns with mixing the pro1000 center and the bp fronts?
I have no doubt that you would be quite happy with the BP7004 fronts, PC1000 center, and BP2X surrounds. A setup such as this or any other manufacturers speakers that is a big upgrade to what you're use to can sound incredibly satisfying. But as your ears acclimate and your audio experience grows, you'll begin to notice more of the subtleties and nuances that were hidden by excitement previously.
Timbre matching your front sound stage will be something your going to inevitably do anyway. The 4.5" BDSS bass/mid range drivers of the PC1000 will sound a little off as the sound pans across the front sound stage from the 5.25" cast basket bass/mids of the BP7004.
The PC1000 does have good sensitivity and the passive radiators that are coupled to the mids do help with better extension, but this does nothing to assist the different timbres of these speakers.
The receivers' settings will help and I suspect you would have to run that center a little hot to keep up with those mains, but it will still be a little off.
For your benefit, I just want to make a case for getting the better matched center. I can understand that budget restraints and center speaker size can be an issue for now.
