One question though, will having the CS2 hooked up with the Quintets over power them?

Maybe, but that's what upgraditis is all about. You'll fix that when the next bug hits you.

I have an enclosed box and it sounds fine. Although I did fill it with foam and will be building a stage around it.

Hey Tals, It says it is a bulk Item that cant be returned for refund or replacement service. Would the Service Net Replacement Extended Warranty Plan even take effect?

Do you have a pic that shows your entire shelving and what components are located where? That may help us problem solve this so you can get that new kick-*$$ center speaker.

Yeah so my pics are over 1 mb each. i dont think i can attach it

Newegg has outstanding customer service.If there was anything wrong they would take care of it no problem.
But its also under warranty from Polk.So if anything happened months from now Polk would take care of it.

And I asked about the speaker wire because while you were doing this it would have been a good time to upgrade the wire.But you are already set with the 14 awg Speaker Cable .

And No the Center wont overpower your other speakers.You will just run the set up mode on your Sony Receiver and it will set all the Speaker levels to where they are even.
So it wont be a lot louder,it will just sound a lot better.

You can fit the CS2 On your stand but to get it in the best position,you would need to readjust your shelves.
But that is strictly up to you.

Is the TV at eye level where its placed on the shelf now.
And do you watch Movies sitting Up or laying down.

The TV is not exactly at eye level when i sit, but when i lay down it is. I can adjust the shelf a little higher. But i will also need to adjust the two shelves above the TV.

Very Good Move Mike.

You wont regret this upgrade you just made .

And out of everything I have heard about Newegg(including my experiences with them)you will be fine not getting the upgraded service plan.

Like I said Polk will take care of anything if something happened later on down the road.But if it is damaged or not working when you get it,Newegg will take it back and either replace it or send you another one.They just try to make you think something may happen so they can sell you the Extra Service Plan and make some more money.

I will be signing off very shortly since I've been up since @ 1:30AM.

So You made a Very Good Choice Today.Not to mention a Big Step Forward in Upgradeing your System.
If you are working I will chat with you in the morning.

LOL. Yeah I think i am going to enjoy it. Though the day would have been better if not for the proverbial wall i hit today.

I know it has nothing to do with the forum but my Girlfriend of 2 and a half years broke up with me. I am hurting.

Da*n Dude,that is terrible.
You have my deepest sympathies.

Thats a good amount of time to spend with anyone when you start talking about years.
I feel for you my friend.Sooner or later(and probably Sooner)She will see that she made a Big Mistake.

Thanks Tals. I feel like she is playing games with me. like she wants to see what ill do to get her back. I really dont know what i should do. Blah.

Ok, back on topic. Sean thinks i should sell the quintets to pay for the monitors. He says that the two monitors and CS2 will sound better then the quintets.I wont have enough to pay for the monitors till end of the year. We will see what the B-Day coming up will yield. What do you think?

Well that depends on what speakers you want for the front.

I am not 100% sure what you would get if you sold your Quintets.
Did the Klipsch Quintet Set just come with the 5 speakers,or did it also come with a Klipsch subwoofer also?

Just the Five speakers. I Bought mine on sale for between 250 and 300 I believe. I could probably sell them for 150. They are still over 200 at best buy.
