    SVS Prime Tower or SVS Ultra Bookshelf?

    A center channel isn’t designed to be a speaker for audio fidelity reasons, it’s designed to fit under a TV or in a cabinet etc. As you have sound pan across the speakers, does it make more intuitive sense to have the same type of speaker transition sound from one to the other, or does it make...

    Pros & Cons of Various Center Channel Designs

    Your front soundstage will probably be better than with a center channel, assuming the speakers are of adequate quality. They will most likely be taller than center channel, so you may have placement issues with that. Dolby and a few speaker manufacturers have guides that prescribe optimum...

    Budget challenge: 5.1.2 + receiver for 2K

    I should've said everything has to be current model line, just to make it harder. He's probably ok with refurbs but not prior year refurbs. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Opinions on entry level receivers

    VSX-45, but it's only a 5.1 setup. Then again, so is the 383. Ask yourself if you want Atmos later, figure out the minimum amount of speakers you need to drive, and then get a receiver that will drive all of them.

    Looking for a sealed sub under $1500 to pair with KEF LS50

    I've only owned two subs, S1500 and F15HP. F15HP is a more efficient sub, what I mean by that is more output for a lower powered amp. S1500 is a better $ value.

    PSA S1500 vs. Rythmik F15HP

    I just thought of something. I'm able to cross at 80 Hz more seamlessly with the F15HP-SE, compared to the S1500. With the S1500, sometimes 80 Hz would be a bit boomy and I'd have to play with the gain, and 60 Hz would be cleaner, but not impactful at times. 80 Hz on the Rythmik is both...
