Thank you all for your input. That was useful. I'll put my money on a 2-channel PA to get the best music experience possible and will let the center to the HT amplification. I just comitted to a Parasound Halo JC5.

Found a used Parasound JC5. Might go for it.

Thank you. After having read posters opinions here and elsewhere I’ll go for none of them. I’ll shop for an high-end used 2-channels. And when upgrading to a processor I’ll go with Anthem AVM70 with 2 MCA525 with the 2-channel driving the fronts. Might have found a good deal for a Parasound Halo...

I have read it was advisable to have the main speakers (towers & center) driven by the same amp for homogeneity in HT. But with the answers I have here and in other forums, I guess I’d better invest in a high-end two channels and let the AVR take care of the center.

Thanks Bill. I'll try to fiddle with the room correction software. Not much choice on the placement of the subs though as the room is already wired. Only option would be to place one in the back of the room -- they are now below the screen between the 2 towers -- as I should be able to bring a...

Hi guys (and girls, who knows), I'm currently running my HT/Hifi equipment with dual Paradigm Defiance X10 and find that bass is not as full as I'd like. My room is about 13 X 18. Wondering if I should trade my two X10s against one SVS SB4000 or SB16 Ultra. Am I harming myself by going single...
