Center Channel for Titus XS
How about a largely omni-directional Ohm Micro walsh short? Might cost just a tad more than $300 though.I use Triangle Titus 202s in my 2 channel A/V system. If I went to multi-channel the little OHM MicroWalshes configured for wall mounting in ho... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
"how can anyone imagine that Springsteen and Dylan can be compared? Why would you want to? When I think Dylan I think folk music icon and when I think Springsteen I think radio personality. apples and oranges IMO"I agree totally.We do it because i... 
MOODY BLUES CD'S
December is the one Moodies album I don't have.I need to get it.....I sold a lot of stereo systems at Lafayette Radio years ago playing Octave on vinyl on various systems when it originally came out. Octave was well recorded as well and had a coll... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Oh, Rebbe, be sure to include something with some well recorded pipe organ in the shootout. When all else fails, the low notes on a big pipe organ will really serve to separate the men from the boys! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm curious as well. I've never heard MWTs and this should be the most informative comparison that I know of.I anticipate the 100s will deliver a sound that is essentially similar but has more authority and meat on the bones, like other much large... 
First Trip outside of Best Buy, a real newbie.
Poorly driven speakers that sound good loud most likely will not "suck" at lower volumes, but bass levels may suffer resulting in a less satisfying presentation at lower volumes.I went from a 360/W channel relatively low current amp to my current ... 
The best "imaging" speakers?
Audiophiles want it all and we want it now!

I think the Nova would certainly work well with the Maggies.

Ironically, some speakers require more efficient amps that deliver more current to sound right at lower volumes. If the amp can do that and can deliver enough current (not same as watts), and the speakers can also handle high volumes without break... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
Bondmanp,What brand of vintage speaks from Tech HiFi? You didn't say.The best I remember at Tech HiFi to be had for that price on sale might be Ohm E's? I sold dozens of them back in the day.Or could be EPIs or smaller Infinitys or Advents maybe?

"Best speakers for my small space with this system?"I'm eyeballing the Peachtree for use with my Triangle Titus 202s when the need arises as I described above."best" is always a subjective determination since no two speaks sound the same, but the ... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
Dylan is also a superior Kvetcher.Being a superior Kvetcher is not necessarily a good thing. 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
"As far as Columbus he was a pirate"Technically, that is a true statement."As for Bruce,could anyone possibly be more boring?"Based on his record sales and long-time popularity, the answer is also yes.I am ambivalent regarding Springsteen myself. ... 
What to improve? all suggestions are welcomed
Without having heard your system, which seems very good, I'd say first check for correct polarity to speakers (+ to + and - to - for each). If not connected properly, bass is affected.Also confirm that your speaks are well positioned for good bass... 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
He was good and a good original All-American/Joisey fit for the event.
