Man, what a sweet looking speaker! Are you sure that's not a misprint on the price  :o . Rick, how would 5 of these work out in a home theater? Can you build a center channel version of it? I am looking for some possible upgrades to my Paradigm reference series speakers without spending a lot of dough and these seem to fit the bill price wise! I am using a Rotel RMB1095 200x5 amp, is this too much power for these guys?

I'm actually going to use them in a 5.1 SACD/DVD-A system at my house and they are ideal for that application. I've been thinking about a matching center channel but have not started on it yet.

The Rotel isn't a problem. Too little power and clipping is more of a concern for any speaker.

Let the circle know when you get a center channel worked out and also your thoughts when you get your system set up. I'm getting more and more into multi-channel music and am looking forward to taking my system to the next level  :D
