matching DT center and rear channel speakers perhaps ? Timbre macthing is important the speakers should sound similar for best multichannel experience. Dont cheap out on the center it accounts for much of the sound in a movie, voices for example . Ideally if the speaker maker has different series of speakers the center should be from the same series as your main speakers if you get me
You obviously don't "need" a sub the budget is best spent elsewhere. So how much would a suitable DT center and rear channels cost ? Btw 5.1 is good enough very few can actually place 7.1 speakers in a sensible way in a living room, good HT gear downmix 7.1 > to 5.1 or 5.0 (routing bass to the front L,R) for you nicely. That leaves what you can spend on a blueray something and a HT reciever with hdmi switching and 24/96 capabilities . Investigate it's bass management system it should be able to reroute all bass to your main speaker (with the built in 400w subs) If HDTV home theater is the goal . I have no specific advice re HT recievers but that they are much better nowadays since I last owned one 6 years ago, actually not to be sneezed at. I think you get most bang for the buck there. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH and assorted amps SiriuS, Classe' Primare and Dynadio speakers, Contour 4 Contour Center, and Contour 1.3SE rear ch.
