Good Gawd! How can you embarrass your L/R that way. Every time you play anything in stereo you know your center just laughs at those "crappy" speakers, with their insufficient two mid-bass drivers. To go the extra two miles on the center, what type of material do you prefer - lots of inaugurations addresses, damn that's a lot of center channel in an otherwise just very freaking nice setup. My little PSB with its twin mid-bass drivers has now lost all confidence in itself.
oh as far as types of music I like it deppends on my mood lol variety I guess would describe it best because if I come home from work and want to relax i'll throw on some jazz/blues and thens theres days I like hip hop, heavy metal or country .

Picked 3 blurays on sale today, Serenity, National Treasure 2 and The Dark Knight , I plan on watching National Treasure 2 tonight. Anyone seen any of these hopefully they'll be good.

If you liked "Firefly" the TV show, you should like "Serenity."

"The Dark Knight" is one of my favorites. Should give your system a work out.

You are joking right? "Has anyone seen Dark Knight?" No, had not heard of that one... A Thread of Interest to You ;\)
Seriously, don't just dabble in the Dark Knight - you know, "let me drop in a see what this is about". Get the mood right (wine and...well mostly wine for me), get the speakers all ready for action, levitate the wires, fire up the crystals and enjoy what I think is the best visual and auditory demo material made to date – and not a bad story at all. It will use every available Hz and Watt your system has to offer. Then watch the bonus material and then re-watch the movie in a critical mood. I was more impressed once I was clued in to what to watch for. Great film - and I'm not a comic book fan.

Also, the stands look great, huge improvement. But you should try moving that left surround further from the listening position and adjust the delay on the AVR. With a tweeter so close to you, it is really hard for the sound wrap around the back of you. If you stick with those speakers, also try aiming them at the back wall so as to make the first reflection hit the listening position and the direct sound come off axis. I did this with my last surrounds and it helped a good bit with rear imaging in a similar setup with the rear wall just behind the listening position. But the more distance from tweeter to ear, the better in your set up - in my humble opinion, worth most of the two cents it sells for!

Great description of The DarkNight MAKES ME WANT TO THROW IT ON NOW LOL but think i'll save it for this weekend when I have more time and watch Serenity tonight. I watched Treasure 2 it was alright but nothing to write home about imo . Thanks for the advice with my rear speakers and i'll have to try angling them off the wall and see how it works. I use to do that with some Bose cubes I had and it worked good for them.

Given your setup, you should try QS8 or even QS4. The real soundstage will impress you now that you have reached a satisfaction level with the current set up.
