Thanks for the input as always. I have m60s for fronts; and Wharfedale center (Diamond 8), and surrounds (Atlantic 200). Not having any problems with the surrounds. Nope, there is no static. Just a fade in and out. I built my own cables, which are soldered. I'll check the center channel cable again. And yes, this is a great excuse to finally buy an Axiom center channel...
