How big should center spkr be to set to "large"?
"Also, we don't really crank it up loud, so I don't get too much of the sound falling apart problem"This is not the problem for you here! Even if you listen at a "flee's level", well bellow the average listener, the problem lies in the dynamic abi... 
How big should center spkr be to set to "large"?
HOWEVER, another problem here is that many people will end up "unknowingly" placing their speakers in the room, in conjuction with their seating locations, where the bass response is going to be all over the place. They often end up putting speake... 
How big should center spkr be to set to "large"?
"A center like the 570 I would crossover somewhere between 50 and 60 hz" (Dedwards). Besides this center speaker being a typical dynamically low-efficiency design (Reviews measure this speaker at 86db efficiency/about 88 room, and is 5 ohms minimu... 
How big should center spkr be to set to "large"?
Yeah, except when a speaker (in this case, center speaker) is sitting in somewhat of a hole in the 70-80hz regigion, and someone ends up getting some more "umph" by crossing their rather large center speaker over at, like 60hz or whatever, you sho... 
Martin Logan Dynamo versus....
easily 80% (that's no understatement or joke) of the performance of the subwoofer in a room is acoustics, possitioning (in relation to seating area), and setting the crossover, phase, and level matching!...as well as often EQ'ing. Bass is the sing... 
Crossover Help
What you need is the Denon receiver line actually, for many reasons. One they will not only crossover your speakers at the proper location, but also do "EQ'ing" that's far supperior to anything else currently on the market! And, if you mount those... 
Dual Subwoofer Question
It's going to be difficult, and not ideal if it can be avoided. First of all, you need to know how to set up a subwoofer correctly in the first place, let alone 2!!!! For instance, I recently did a 15 year professional custom installer friend of m... 
NHT tweeters
"I'd like to get side speakers with a decent lower end to them, but that are still wall mountable." (tsrart)Here's your problem with that thinking. You're going to have an unbalanced/non-accurate sound by placing lower bass up against your wall wi... 
Opinion Needed on Arcam AVR100 vs Denon AVR-3803
Another dito for the Arcam piece, which I used to sell. It's in another league over the Denon, which I've also owned that piece briefly. Either way with these receivers, you will definitely run the speakers as "small" on these receivers, unless yo... 
Yamaha RX-V757 with Klipsch F2 speakers
Both of those components you are refering to are likely on the bright and analytical side (Refering to the Yamaha from past experience). I would NOT mate them together personally, as they don't compliment each other well(speakers/receiver). I'd go... 
Best 2 channel for under 300?
I'm going with the Jolida integrateds. Yes, no tuner, so you'd have to add that. Still, the sound is going to be infinitely beyond any $300 receiver. Yeah, won't see me buying any $300 receivers anytime soon. Can't go back to that soundlevel 
I want to hear what you have to say bout my HT
Yeah, I've heard his system, and know what it does and doesn't do compared to others. The sound is overall smooth, clear, and "audiophile sounding" mostly, so things are nice and clear sounding. Dynamics bumps up greatly with a Dappolito configure... 
Klipsch vs Maggies decisions
Funny thing for me, is that I've sold both brands over the years. I know what both can do mostly. I'd be trying to see what kinda sound I could get from some modded Klipsch's with tubes over the Maggies though! (lol). I know, I know...Don't say it... 
help me build a system for $1200
I like your Jolida idea, with some nice speakers. Very musical piece, with clear speakers, and you should be happy. 
I want to hear what you have to say bout my HT
"That Monster Cable PLC has got to go! Also what are you doing for Power, Resonance Control, and Acoustics? You might only be hearing half of what your system is capable of" (Aroc)Yeah, well none of that really helps you. Personally, having sold t...
