Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker?
Krell man and Kr4, I concure and relate to your experiences entirely. I've sold Dunlavy in the past, as well as Mirage. You both understand what's happening by-enlarge there. The Dunlavy using multiple woofers in a coherent time aligned array defi... 
Center speaker OR Full range as Center speaker?
My experience has been that, ideally, 3 matching across the front is best. That however needs to be quantified in the context of the system/room/setup. Basically, a lot of full range speakers, or mini's for that matter, aren't really all that capa...

Rackon, thank you for the insight! I very much have NOT heard the AVM300. So, yes it's likely I'm off base here. This has just been my experiences over and over again. The AVM300 may indeed be "all that", and "separates-like" in performance. I thi... 
Dipole rear speakers ???
My first thought on your seating possition (2' from back) and monopoles mounted on that same back wall, is that you're compounding your "boomy", "peaky", "low fidelity" bass problems!!! This won't sound very good. Infact, you can forget any audiop... 
Looking for non-boomy full range speakers
For all practical setup choices in that small room, you'll be stuck with boom in the 60,50,40 hz and bellow range mostly. You will otherwise have the speakers way out towards the middle of the room and in unreasonable spots to get flatter sound wi... 
How To Improve B&W N802 Bass Response?
It's basically about getting the speakers and listening chair(s) where they give the best/flattest/most even response in relation to EACH OTHER...nothing more.The room is basically a pool filled with bass modes/waves. You ideally put your listenin... 
Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000.
Yeah I think I've fallen a little victim of this myself over the years. And that's the same kinda "I'm god" and "my oppinions are right, and I know better than you" kinda mentality. From a relationship/sales standpoint, or trying to basically help...

Which Home Theater speakers for under $28,000.
I'd like to throw in some more stellar pieces to your budget, depending:Consider used/retubed world class Sony G90 CRT pj at $10k range. Also, Wilson Cub's for passive speakers. I second the ATC actives (no brainer), as Infinity Prelude MTS system...

You can see how people's opinions/tastes vary. I totally respect others opinions on gear selection, and everyone's taste. That's a good reason most everyone ownes different gear!...including the professional reviewers. I've been around high end bi...

I'm not only a custom home theater guy, with over 6 retail stores and 15 years around this business, but am a long time two channel audiphile as well. My recommendation for effective Home theater sound is still to consider more refined sounding, y... 
Best HT Speaker "package" for under $2500??
Too little info to generallize even! You must give room specifications. You can't recommend the same speaker package for a 20x25 ft room vs a 9x11 foot room, sorry!

As you said in your post, "I do belive a receiver can sound as good as separates." This makes logical sense why you'd go the Arcam route.While I have no doubt the Arcam makes good sound for a receiver, and I used to sell that line, it can't compet...

Na...you must do separates for good sound. I've worked in this for 15 years, 6 audio stores, and hundreds of installs. Do yourself a favor and do separates. Receivers powersupplies must delegate power to all the switching, processing, lights, dial...

Like I said, you like your 2 channel system, why change it??just add a digital AV pre/pro (looped into an auxilary input on your existing 2 channel preamp(switch to that input for movies), and a subwoofer. You will keep the integrity of your 2 cha...
