Center channel speaker which excels at dialogue

Favorite all-in-one remote control?

Your system looks great.You are ready to take the plunge.Room acoustic treatments.The easy one is the first reflections.Sit in your listening chair,have someone hold a mirror flat to the wall on the right side and left side of your speakers until ...

Theatermaster 8800 Speaker Configuration Question.
What is the pro software you spoke of ? I own an EAD ovation-8 and was curious.Sorry I don't have an answer for your post. 
where do you cross over your ht setup
I agree that the power is in the hands of the sub.Most manufactured subs are not able to reproduce the bass of six channels.Not that they all are producing bass all the time because they are not.I watched the whole movie saving private ryan and th...
