Bill,
I am nowhere near you, but I just received my Wind Rivers and matching center channel.... Go for it.
The Craftmanship is excellent, and the sound is better. I am told it will just get better after they break in. Had zingali overture speakers and center before. The Zingali's Had a 10/10 WAF, but cannot match the "complete and accurate" (I suck at adjectives) sound of the WR's.
E mail me if you have any further questions.
Ron
