PS~ Nice new Avatar Todd!

Thank You for the Avitar Compliment.I Figured I would share my Dream.

But sorry to hear the Movie was a let down.
I have not read or heard much about it.But I thought it may have promise since it was a Tim Burton Movie.

I think sometimes you put in a movie that you think you wanna see, but then when viewing it you just can't quite get into it. As opposed to saying that the movie then sucked is the wrong thing to say. You have to give it another chance another day.

Thanks Mike,I was wondering why the name I had posted just didnt sound right.I have No Idea where I got Tim Robbins from but I appreciiate you letting me know.

I would have felt embarrased if it would have stayed like that and more and more people had looked at that post and said,"Who in the world is Tim Robbins)?

No wonder you couldnt get into the Movie John,It was made by a guy that no-ones heard of before.

Very funny Todd!

Tim Robbins is an actor and has done great movies....Shawshank Repemption is one of them.

It an easy mistake to make.....

I can see your point there,John.

I have had expierences where I started watching a Movie and just didnt feel like it once it had started.I would shut everything down and wait for another time.

Its like going thru cycles.I can go for weeks on end where I want to watch a movie or two almost every day of the week.And after 2 or 3 weeks you have watched 15 movies or more.

Then I will go thru a cycle where I really dont feel like watching any movies but feel like listening to some music.
So I would get a CD or two and put them in the player and either just close my eyes and let the music draw me in.
Or turn on the music and listen to it at a lower level while I am online or cleaning the system with a good dusting and polishing.

But I have found myself being drawn in more and more into listening to music.So my instincts have kicked in and told me I need to do some upgrading to my system so I can have the Best Expierence Possible with the Music that My System is capable of letting me Have.

So Mike,my Friend.Have you started getting closer to making a choice as to what Center Channel you would add to your Home Theater System?

And there are other brands then just Polk that you can look at.
I just talk about Polk because I use them and have owned several different models of Polks.
And also know that they offer a Great Speaker for the Price.

I also own some Klipsch speakers like you do.But with what I have seen with the Prices of Klipsch Speakers I have stayed away from them as my Front 3 Speakers(and if it wouldnt have been for the HH Gregg Credit Card I wouldnt own the 4 Klipsch Bipolar Speakers That I do now).

Energy makes a good speaker for a good price and so does Boston Acoustics.And Infinity has some good Performing Speakers with a Good Selection and a Good Price.

JBL makes some inexpensive Speakers but I havent been impressed by them.

And both Mirage and Definitive Technology make incredibly Sounding Speakers for a little more money then the others.But they can be worth it,in the right situation.

Just,whatever you do,try to stay away from the Sony Brand Speakers.
That wouldnt be a move up for you since you have the Klipsch Quintet Set.

They sound as good if not better then the Sony Speakers do,even though the Sony's are priced really nice.

Yeah i looked at the energy's and they look nice. I hear alot of good things on the other forums. I havent looked into the Mirage or Definitive Technology, but doesnt Sean have a Sub made by DT that he says is awesome?

I Know i can audition the Polks at my BB but they dont have a Magnolia part. It is just there own A/V section. So they dont have alot to audition.

I am still leaning toward the Polk side but if anyone has any suggestions, Feel free to post them!

[talstarone]

I can recommend Polk,Boston Acoustics,Infinity,Mirage,Definitive Technology,Yamaha,and Klipsch as Speaker Brands I own or have owned over the years.

In my honest opinion I would choose Definitive Technology as my First Choice if Money wasnt a concern.
But out of the Speakers listed Definitive Technology has the highest priced entry level line of these brands,except for Mirage.

Mirage is expensive as well.But they are also worth it.
Sean does own a Definitive Technology Subwoofer and a Full Set of Mirage Speakers for his Main Home Theater.

crazy owns both Polk Audio and Boston Acoustics for his Front 3 Speakers.So you may want to ask crazy at some point on how he feels about his Polks and his Boston Acoustics.

A good website that sells Stereo and Home Theater Gear at a good price is AudioAdvisor.
Here is a link to their store:
http://www.audioadvisor.com/

And there is also a company called Vanns that has good products at good prices.
Here is a link to their store:
http://www.vanns.com/shop

So when you have some time look over these 2 sites.You may see something you like at a good price.

Thanks Tals. I will be sure to ask crazy about his experience with Boston Acoustics and Polk and see what he says. I remember back when i was first thinking about getting two fronts, There was a sale on Energy Speakers and it was on the Vanns website. I guess i still have so researching to do. But i will have you guys there to help me make a decision.
