MY HT setup

[adept777]

Hey guys,

I just got my HT setup a few weeks back and would welcome all suggestions: My current setup as follows:

Panasonic 50" Plasma
Onkyo HT RC270
Definitive Tech Pro Center 1000 - Center
Energy CF 70 - Front Left and Right
Energy CF 30 - Surround
Definitive Tech Pro Monitor 800 - Surround Back
Polk Audio PSW10 - Subwoofer

I know I have a very mixed setup now with the Polk, Energy and DT but I am just starting and am wiling to hear any recommendations. FYI - I am looking to replace the DT Central with a Energy CC10 too. Thanks!

I gather you're replacing the center because you're unhappy with the Definitive Tech's sound and the CC10 should fill that gap nicely. Looks like it'll be a fine system after that though you might want a sub upgrade if you feel you need more HT impact ummph.

Yup yup.. not that I don't like the DT Pro Center 1000, it is just that someone recommended that I keep the central and L&R the same brand for a smooth transition. Any thoughts?

BTW, I love Definitive Tech but I can't afford them as they cost much more than Energy and furthermore I got the Energy CFs on sale.

Smooth transition and timbre matching and all that jazz?

And having 4 or more surround speakers for better surround effects?

I think way over-rated.

I think the main reason for matching brands is for aesthetics. It just looks nicer to have matching brands.

It looks even nicer when all your speakers look identical.

Bottom line, if your speakers sound great, you don't need to change anything.

Nice setup you got there.. I just looked at your pics... cool!

And I guess you are some what right, but oh well

Can't say it any better than AcuDefTechGuy, if *you* like the sound, that's what really matters.
