Best Bang for the Buck on a Used Center Speaker???
IMO, the center chnl should be the exact same speaker as the front L/R. If possible, all three fronts should maintain matching tweeter heights. None of the center speaker being placed several feet higher or lower than the mains, causing tonal "pan... 
Small quality HiFi subs reaching 22Hz
Rx8man, Wow, lots of great reviews, not to mention how low they can go. And you're using two? There's almost 3db of additional output, plus an additional 3Hz drop. People would be surprised how much audio media incorporates sub-to low 20s material...

Best power cable for levinon no 336?
Dp37, There's lots of snake-oil out there when it comes to cables. Ask yourself what's been run inside your sheet-rock walls, out to the step-down transformer, miles upon miles of "unshielded" KV wiring, through switching yards, all the way back t... 
Best monitor under $1000

Best monitor under $1000
Rich, You're absolutely right. What I should've asked was "Best monitor you've heard for under a grand". Your responces are always considerations to be pondered, and I should have put more thought into my vague question. All that being a given, an...
