Keep in mind 1watt will get you around 90 db's on these speakers. yes, more power may get you more control but the quality watts are what matters more then the amount of watts.

Paradigm Sigs for all 7. It really depends if the dealer has v2's left at a discount of how big you can go. SVS PB13 Ultra sub.

Last time I went listening I spent a good chunk of time out with...

They look great in your theater but I'm looking to keep things flush with the wall. My local fry's as the TC80i's on sale anyway so 360 vs 700 for the pair isn't bad.

I really enjoy my Rotel DClass amps with my RTi12's. This includes the 1085 or the 1091's. Also, how small is your room? What is placement in the room like? 12's need a lot of room to breathe...

How do you like your SVS sub with your RTi12's?

What matches the RTi12/C5 center in timber for in wall/ceiling? I was going to run my RTi6's at some point as surrounds but they are just so dang deep I can't bring myself to put them out.

Yes, get the 9's and make sure you feed them the power and cross them somewhere around 40hz if you can. If not, set them to large and let them play full range. 9's are the new RTi12's and as long...

As stated above it's more or less using stereo sound to create the sense that there is a stage in front of you. Some speakers can almost make that stage 3 dimensional, some just 2d (left to right). ...

As long as it's working you are good to go.

Looks wise, off. Dog protecting (toys, slober, etc) I have to leave them on. 85lbs of dog can be a bit messy.

Another option you may consider if you are thinking about rotel is their d-class amps. They get reviewed better then the 1095 by almost everybody that's heard them. They aren't as warm, it's more...

803D's really need seperates to shine. I suggest looking at the used market for a 1092 or a pair of 1091's. I also suggest a parasound A21. List in order:

Parasound A21's
Rotel's
1091's...

Same here, different settings for different listening. I go with a "Pure Direct" mode as well, no sub.

Yes, if your speakers are clipping you need to invest in seperate amps and most likely if...

Checkout the list that craigsub has compiled. Some are pricey but in the forum you can find more cost friendly options.

Not true at all. The same settings apply with just an AVR or with an external amp in the mix. Also, it's not so much about headroom as it is that the vast majority of speakers out there can't produce...

I live in the Austin area and would love to demo the 500's vs my RTi12's, RTi6's and both on my HTR-5760 and my rotel gear (RB-1091 mono blocks, rsp-1068). I mostly listen in stereo 2 channel.

I'm still a little skeptical but as I have to wonder what the likelyness of a timing error etc but at least there is...

Yeah, that blasted RROD! That's what the PS3 is for though... With the 360 now though you can set it to go straight to media center which is a +. The PS3 looks like it might be doing upsampling...

Yup, my digital library makes it way to easy for me to think about CD's. I have actually tried an older basic Pioneer CD player I had laying around using analog vs the digital outs on my game...

It was a imaging problem that quickly turned into a source problem...

There is a difference between lab and the real world, that is absolutely true when it comes to some things. I wish I could...

Realistically I love being able to switch music instantly and not have to spend the time swapping out CD's and being able to sort music by artist/album/genre etc. I have around 30,000 songs on my PC...

Thanks, you'll have to let me know how that goes! What type of DAC will be doing the decoding? What type of CDP's do you have? How will the CDP's be hooked up vs the xbox and the pc? Will...

Well thanks! I really was interested in that answer though... I'm interested in knowing how good the DAC's are in something like a parasound C1/C2 or when they come out with the rumored C3...

I did notice the speaker distance setting on my receiver to make a big difference upon initial setup but I have dialed is as good as it gets.

I know many of you said the source is so important...
