I'd love to post a pic of my setup, but not yet allowed. I ordered the 7.1 home theater package 3 with an extra sub. I upgraded the center speaker to the new E56Ci and upgraded both pairs of bookshelves to the E55Wi surrounds. All I can say is wow! The E56Ci center holds its own in perfect balance and is not subdued by the towers (perfect match). The E55Wi surrounds are awesome. Seating is no longer critical to hearing them perform, and perform they do. Optimum listening position in the room is much wider now. But lets get back to the center speaker. The addition of two 6 1/2 inch woofers combined with those of the two towers, gives you a punch that you can feel. I am surprised at how little my two ES10i subs contribute to the overall sound and feel of the bass. However, added together, the bass impact they generate during certain movie scenes is without a doubt, movie theater at home, and they look as good as they sound. I had an $11k budget; but when my wife saw how good they looked, we went shopping that weekend and dropped another $8k for my mancave. Now that was unexpected. I've got a great A/V system and the man-cave to match. Oh, I almost forgot, the crew at emptek are the best. They worked with me as I made more than one change to my order. A great bunch of people.
