    Why the center? Do you do movies or multi-channel music (I saw the Steely Dan cover - so I guess the answer is yes to music). Do you feel multichannel music is worth buying extra speakers? Or is it mostly for the movies?

    Basic questions, I know, but I used to have a 5.1 set up and didn't see the point for music. It was a bad room and inferior speakers to S1s or S2s.

    Anyone who wants to chime in and help a slow learner - feel free!

    Hey Don,

    Yes, I do movies and hi-res multi-channel music(BluRay, SACD and DVD-A).

    My system/speakers are used for everything...TV, movies, and music.

    I don't use any special DSP modes for multi-channel music, but if the BluRay, SACD or DVD-A is mixed/engineered for multi-channel, and done well...it is very enjoyable.

    My father and law just got some HTM-200's for his theater. We set it up over the weekend and they sound great! Man...just a few more months for me to upgrade. Can't wait.

    I placed an order for 3 of the Sierra 2's on Friday, with the satin black bamboo finish. Can't wait for them to arrive, which should be sometime this week. A forum member was nice enough to sell me his 170SE's to be used as surrounds. I'm ecstatic to be an Ascend owner!
