Bookshelves as fronts

[ack_bak]

I went from a pair of Polk rti-series tower speakers with a matching Polk center to 3 SVS SCS-01 bookshelf speakers, and to my ears, the SVS speakers are a clear upgrade in overall sound. You just need a good subwoofer(s) to handle the bass around 80hz and below. This is what these speakers are designed to do. For movies and TV, bookshelf speakers paired with subwoofers are great. For 2-channel music, tower speakers tend to have an advantage IMHO. But my speakers are rarely if ever used for 2-channel music.
