-3db limits for dummies
Chase, best bet might be to find a used pair of lsi9s so your center is timbre matched and use one for the center channel (or both if wired parallel, i think that's how you would use 2 speakers for center, but not sure... ask that question in spea... 
Whole house re-wiring question
having just had a bad low voltage guy do a bad job that resulted in a shorted wire, and the fact that my electrician pointed out before the final product was finished that the low voltage guy did a bad job and should have protected the wires by ru... 
5 Channel receivers with Pre outs- where are they

Strangest problem I've ever had

Thanks for responses. On way to get a meter to test wires. I do think the wire got compromised . Low volatage guy did his thing, then electrician did his, then sheet rock guys. Someone probably hit that wire...but I also think the onkyo pre outs a...
