I talked to my brother and wants to stick with sony and Bose speakers up front mixed
With the Sony center speakers. I told him 2 center speakers is worse then one. But he thinks its better. I am just going to set up the f6000 up front and make him set the Bose aside. Even with that he still wants to move the mode reflecting speakers to the rear and middle souround. But I told him better to keep it all one brand for sure rite?

Ab theI did some math. I send the sony's back get 210 bucks back. Go on new egg they got a 2 day sale on the pinoeer for 99 bucks each for the good book shelf speakers. Get the
Towers for 200 bucks and the center for 70 bucks that's only 570

And this set up would be much better then the Sony set up?

Okay he's going with just one center speaker and 4 Sony f6000 for souround. And 2 f7000 Up front. We set the f7000 up and they sound really nice. Also is 20ft away from 80 inch tv to far?

Thanks . . .

I had/have some similar thoughts regarding subs . . . meaning I don't have one & won't be getting one for a while . . . since I've recently purchased my speakers (Paradigm Studio 100 v5, CC-690 & ADP-590s); additionally I'm vacillating between the Denon AVR-4311CI vs Onkyo TX-NR818 (as FirstReflections can attest to . . . w/ my endless questions) . . . (leaning toward the Denon). . . and to Adam . . . I had to laugh when you referenced your "financial sphincter" slamming shut . . . gave me a chuckle as I believe I'm there now . . . all that being said, I do appreciate all the thoughts on the subs . . .. and though I don't have one now, I don't really miss it w/ music as the Studio 100's seem to have a enough base for me (regarding music); however, having had them only a couple months . . . I notice something missing in the low end when watching movies . . . so, I do see a need for the sub when watching movies . . . but I guess, between my 'financial sphincter' being slammed shut, being 70/30 music/movies & wanting to pick up a sub that's on par w/ my other speakers . . . I'm willing to wait . . .

Additionally, I need some education regarding what would be a good sub fit for my paradigms . . . . my head about exploded when I saw the prices on the Paradigm Reference subs . . . ***any thoughts/advice/suggestions would be appreciated.***

Anyway, just wanted to throw my thanks in there . . .

I just want to give everybody an update

I got 2 Sony f7000 up front
Sony center speaker
2 Sony f6000 as souround
2 Sony f7000 as the rears
And I have the kliptch 12d sub

I set the cross over frequency on the towers to 80 and the cEnter speaker to 100.

Now I got the Sony 1030 and I can't find anywhere to set the frequency for the sub I want to disable the sub dials on the sub and do it all from the receiver. Also I did the auto calibration and it set it to 10db so where would I want to set the volume at for it? The Sony manual says to set it at half way can I set it highter then that or could that hurt the sub?
