AV123 Rocket RSC200

[roshi]

This center is sooo big, I just want to see if anybody has it in their set-up. If you do, please post a picture. I just don't know how I would fit it in my entertainment center...
Which leads me to a different question: Do you think it would sound bad/good/ok to match a x-cs with rockets as fronts and the rocket di-poles as surrounds?

The scoop on that center, commonly known as "Bigfoot" is that it is Awesome. I wouldn't use the x-cs with the Rockets.

Look for pictures over here.

This thread has TONS of Rocket setup pics. You ideally want your front three speakers to be of the same make and model. The Rocket series uses a different tweeter than the X-series so it's not going to be a perfect match.

Onix center channel

Would the Onix Ref 100 center channel fit? It is not small by any means but has different dimensions than the bigfoot and uses the same vifa tweeter.

I haven't heard them, but the high end Polk LSi line also uses the vifa tweeter.

If you don't have the rockets yet, the upcomming X-static mains and X-voice center would be another option.

When do the X-static mains and X-voice center come out?

The Vifa tweeter is used in many designs, including ones that are FAR more expensive than the offerings from Polk or AV123.

I setup a Rocket system for a customer and the Bigfoot is definitely HUGE, but I'd have to say it is also one of the best centers I've heard so that's the trade off that you have to deal with.
