Thank you. Just curious, why didn't you recommend RP-250S for the rears? They caught my eye when I was looking at Klipsch, but I wasn't sure about the two-directional set up. In the meantime, I'm starting to hunt for deals on the Marantz NR series.

ien2222, thank you for this! It does clear up a lot, and I am glad you brought up loudness. I am not really after loudness. Definitely not looking for anything to be theater-loud. I want clear sound, and I don't need to make the floor shake and the roof fall off. So if the issue is volume, I am...

Alright, let's see what we can land on. Pity on the NR being too weak for me - I was growing on the idea of that box. But my mind is open - let's explore. I haven't put much thought into LCR speakers. I've been assuming that my front right and front left are up on that weird shelf, so I've ever...

I am looking for help and recommendations to complete my new home theater set up. I've just purchased a tiny media PC (Intel NUC6i7KYK), a whole set of peripherals and a new HD projector. Now I need to upgrade my 12 year old Logitech 5.1 speakers system. Help me pick my sound set up? 1. My...
