I moved the second center to above the TV. I then angled them so that the actually are pointed towards your ear. Sounds awesome. Like the sound is coming from the center of the screen instead of above or below.

We had these bar stools we werent using. I took the wooden tops off and spray painted a shelf black. Drilled divits and used Blu sticky on the stand/speaker and stand/shelf. I can now lift the whole thing by the speaker. Blu Sticky = super glue

I ran a RG6 cable from my receiver up to the attic then down to mid wall on the other side. I used some RCA adapter to connect it to both ends.

Picked up a second subwoofer for the living room. The RW 12D is now in the corner and the RT 10D is under a coffee table. Can't even tell its there. Until the movie starts.

So you can tell by looking at the pictures that the drivers are similar but if you look closely the RT 10D (triangular sub) you can see that the surrounds are much more substantial. The RT is about ten pounds heavier then the larger RW. But, for sheer volume the RW is a great deal at $280 which is what I paid.

Got a new matching Center: ELT Rocket Center. New Marantz SR5004 with pre outs to the Yamaha MX 800 power amp. And a new tv.

Onix RS760s and Klipsch C2 with grills on.

Grills off. I just love the veneers on the Rockets.

Dali Ikon 1

Onkyo TS-SR606. It has plenty of power for my purposes and budget.

I use the Pioneer U player to listen to music to. I connect it directly to the amp and use the gain controls. Sounds so much better then run through the receiver.

We did a lord of the rings night a few years ago and for fun (See definition of a NERD) we dressed up as Hobbits. LOL. (Im on the left)

Nice progression. I like your upgrades. What is your video player?

Nice gear. Love that Hobbit pic! Thank you for the nice comments over in my gallery. I have been out of the Vintage collecting gig for a couple of years, but I still admire the gear everytime I see it. It sounds awesome, even when it's off In case your interested in how I switch receivers, here's a link to my old thread that shows most of my projects: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showthread.php?t=116943 and here is a pic of my switching method: http://forum.blu-ray.com/showpost.php?p=3052123&postcount=551 Let me know if you have any questions and thanks again.

Hey Jim thanks for stopping by and commenting. You've got quite the setup yourself with those AV123 's I'm certainly digging the Klipsch sub. Excellent gear al around. 10+ is less than what you deserve. Congrats.
