Just finished unpacking the center and let me tell you, it's a piece of art!
I have never seen such a beautiful speaker!
The plan is to get two Kef Reference 205/2 towers before Christmas!

Man that is going to be an amazing setup. I use to have KEF IQ setup. I am not looking to go back to KEF speakers either with the XQ line or the top of the Qline with the Q900's. Congrats, I can only dream about Kef reference, my wife would shoot that down in a hurry.

Your new center looks awesome! I've had a couple of the large Paradigm centers before and loved them, I'm actually thinking of getting another one shortly. Lets us know how it sounds compared to the two smaller centers.

Sure is nice looking. You might want to raise it off the floor some ...unless you watch movies on the floor.

ha,ha

It's all setup in my ht room now and were watching Prince of Persia for about 1 hour. It already sounds sweet and i think it blends in very well with the IQ90! Its a very detailed sound and very clear!
I have not done any calibration yet. I will do that today!!

Hi Derrell, I just checked out your gallerie. You got some awesome ht gear!
My gf will never tell me what I can do or what I can't do!
She pretty much likes everything I do!!!

Kef Reference 205/2's in piano black!! That's gonna be one hell of a set up!! Your un-boxing is getting me exited because I will be doing the same thing in a few days hopefully.

The Kef XQ40 was on my final list of speakers.......but ended up going with a different brand. I did the opposite of of you. I got the towers 1st and will wait to get the center channel.

Side by side comparison of your new center compared to the old one is tremendous!! Congrats and enjoy your new purchase!

I went with the center first because I think that was my weakest member of my speaker family! I feel like a little kid again with a new toy!
What towers are you gonna get??

I ended up going with the Focal 1038be. Same finish as yours (in front) but with greyish/brown finish on the side.

Jeebus that new center is insane!

Good morning, and quick Q...Are you in the Navy or DoD?

Thanks for compliment. My system is not where I want it to be at this moment but in due time, I will get there. we are looking at buying a new house soon so I hope to have a dedicated room and thats when the fun begins.

On the GF not, that is what she is right now, your GF lol. When they become the MRS, it becomes a different story lol. My wife is very understanding and I cant complain at all. Hometheater is just one of my expensive hobbies and she supports me in all of them, but she feel there is a limit, which I can understand. I just went to vegas in june for a week with the guys. You dont even know what I spent out there, but lets say I could do some HT upgrades with the money I spent. Shes not against big ticket purchases, I just make too many lol Its all about having a happy medium for me.
