Here's Swerd's comments on the SongCenter. Thanks for taking the time to compare the two centers. I'll have something to think about for the rest of the day ... and that day is calling me now. What's really got me preoccupied is your entertainment center. Maybe this weekend I'll take the time to work on mine while the weather is warm enough for finishes. Hmm interesting. Sounds like we both heard the same differences, but that to me it was a bigger difference. Maybe it had to do with the other equipment involved, but it seems we agree that Salk SC is an improvement. Nothing like a pretty entertainment center to spruce up the setup :D I think you got a valid point with more power, like you say it can't hurt. I think all I need is some new front towers. As much as I liked them 15 years ago that's about how much I can't stand them now. The rest of the speakers I am OK with. Still like my rear section and the center. The towers got to go. I think you need an AB Cinema series. That way I can hear one too and see if they are as awesome as they look.
