[QUOTE="kiwijunglist, post: 1133444, member: 76888"] What i recommend is. 1. Center speaker and subwoofer are the two most important speakers. Most of the sound comes out the center speaker in a movie. The subwoofer has the hardest work load bc it plays the subwoofer channel and all the bass that is below the cross over freq in all the other speakers (including the main front speakers). 2. Therefore get the best center you can, and plan the other speakers around your center. 3. There is no point going big on the left and right front speakers if the center can't keep up. You are best to get fronts that have the same size drivers as the center and spend more money on the sub. 4. The avr will set a xover for all speakers so there is zero advantage in having main speakers that dig deeper than the center speaker. This is because the x-over setting will be governed by how low the center speaker goes. [/QUOTE]
