Finally, let your ears be the judge!!!
These are your speakers.
This is what bit me in the A$$, My original set up sounded great for HT but when I threw in a CD (Santana Essentials) they definitely didn't make the cut for my ears and I am by no means an Audiophile but I like my music. Changed the front speakers 3 times and ended up getting bigger drivers. 6 1/2" vs 5 1/2". Now my music sounds very nice in Stereo mode. More natural.

@platinumsword. Don't you think that center channel speaker is a tad on
the small side.
