Frys has been selling the towers on deal at 77 a piece and the surrounds for 77 for a pair.

I tried the Infinity 163 in the center position - the sounds were definitely brighter, and I found the Pioneer center gave deeper bass output. Though I'm wondering if its a little unfair to compare the bass output from a 163 to the Pioneer center (the dedicated center from Infinity is the 251 or...

So what is the benefit of a flat response - will that be closer to the sound encoded/recorded?

Would be interested in getting your thoughts subwoofer recommendations. I know folks recommended SVS. I was looking at: 1. PB12-NSD (box or cylindrical) 2. other than that I've been reading quite a lot of good stuff on the VTF3 MK4 - pretty good deal on this right now 3. and the Power Sound...

1. I changed the frequency settings for the front 3 Pioneers varying them from 40 all the way to 80 (now), as well setting the 163s to 80 (now) and I'm not sure I could tell much of a difference. I've been listening to Transformers (dvd with 5.1 audio). ** 2. I also went ahead and moved the...

I definitely want to try this out, not sure if I should only expect the effect of different tonal changes or something else [as well]? I do have a question too: Should I just put a 163 in place of the center, or would I need to run Audessey too?

Thanks for sending this across, finally got round to reading through it [edit, didnt proof read my response] So this is what I took away from reading that: 1. Better to usually set your crossover frequency 10 Hz above the lowest [documented or detected] capability of your speaker. - the...

Fronts are 40, Center is 40, surround Left/right are 150, surround backs are at 50 and LPF of LFE is 80. I have setup the listening mode to THX Cinema.

Yep, I've done the mic setup 3 times already this year as I've been moving the speakers around.

Hi Kew - I have setup the 163's as surround back but in most movies they sound very low for the most part whereas the surround left and right almost always have sound in my 7.1 setup. I'm thinking that's probably got something to do with most movies coming with 5.1 surround sound. Would you...

Frys has a pretty good sale on the Pioneer towers this week - they're at 77 a piece, and the bookshelfs for 77 for a pair.

--- To your point Bob - I went into the Frys store this past weekend and the Pioneer center sounded like it was in an another room and the Polk centers sounded much better... and the Pioneer towers sounded pretty bad too. Turns out when I rocked the center channel a little it sounded better...

I just got the Pioneers from Frys - they matched TigerDirects 98/tower and 67 for the center. Now I'm tempted to go with 3 Pioneer front towers.

I was looking at the specs for the Pioneer towers and the Primus 351 center. Could this combination be used together based on the specs alone? Could this pairing work? Primus 351 center 80HZ - 20 KHz Sensitivity - 91 dB Crossover frequency - 650 Hz, 2800 Hz Pioneer FS 52 40HZ - 20 KHz...

I may have to start looking for a sub as well :D. I like your DIY idea.

I live in an apartment - so I'm planning on continuing with my 8 inch Yamaha sub-woofer for now.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not thinking of buying another 5.1 system - was thinking of getting just the Front left, right and center channels.

Hi All, I was hoping to get your expert opinions on some speaker choices as I'm stumped. I have the onkyo 270 receiver and I'm planning on refreshing my 5.1 system (and possibly use 2 of my old Yamaha speakers to expand to 7.1). I have already picked up 2 Infinity Primus 163s bookshelf...
