Oh .. But you did comment.. nice .. happy easter

I tried it with my Heresy's 2 feet on either side of the Tv.. there is no comparison for me.. but maybe my AVR doesn't have as good a phantom as yours.. The KV-2 is cheap on ebay.. I bought a few centers on ebay and sold the losers.. Dwight

I just tried it your way .... But maybe my fronts are too far apart.. how far apart are yours when you have no center? Mine are 5 feet from each side of the Television.. and the KV-2 sounds far better than that set up.. to me.. I still never use surround when listening to Lp's.. or the tuner.. Should I try it with the Heresy's a foot from the TV? I guess I'll do that now..

One day.. I'll get my hands on some LaScalas or Cornwalls.. and a big plasma screen.. Maybe next year.. I'm ok for now.. I'm going to do some renovating next year.. so I can maybe build a Heresy into my wall with my flat screen..

I hooked my promedia 2.1 sub up to my Denon AVR with a adapter from Radio Shack... $3.00 and unplugged the Satellites.. so that they don't play music.. and Voila!!! a cheap subwoofer.. it sounds fine with my 4 Heresy Surrounds.. I'm not real picky however.. but until I can afford a Sub.. it rumbles the floor ... Promedias are practically being given away on Ebay...

anyone else use a KV-2 with Heresy's?

Well .. my 2nd set of Heresy's arrived as well as my Oak Kv-2 Center.. I tried the Heresy as the center with Heresy's on either side for front left and right.. and it sounded amazing.. but the Heresy too close to my TV caused some problems .. rainbows and the like.. it was way too big to put on top of the tv.. If I could mount it in my Chimney so that it didnt stick out it might be a possiblility.. then I set up my 4 heresy's as surrounds.. with the KV-2 Center .. The KV-2 isn't quite as crisp as the Heresy.. but I can definitely live with it.. until I can afford a KLF-C7.. or even find one for sale... The Next thing I did.. was Hook the Subwoofer from my Promedia 2.1's up to my Denon AvR.. I needed to get a adapter from Radio Shack.. for $3.00 .. Unplugged the satellites.. so no sound went to them.. and Voila! I have a ok subwoofer for almost no money.. with the Heresy's .. it seems like plenty of sub. although i'm not sure the sound coming out could be considered musical... but it shakes the floor a little..

How many people here have tried this.. and where can I find this wire? http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_10_2/ultralink-CL414-cable-5-2003.html thanks Dwight

Ok.. well some research online answered my last question.. and I'm guessing you guys are going to tell me to go buy another pair of Heresys... for the rear.. ? Most experts agree that one ideal place for your surround speakers is on the side walls of your home theater room, either in line with, or just behind, your listening position (see figure A below). Side-mounted surround speakers should be placed high enough so that the drivers do not fire directly at your ears when you're sitting down one rule of thumb is to place them at ear level while standing.

thanks guys.. Well my speakers are being picked up in Texas by a friend of mine on friday.. So Saturday I'll be setting up my first home theater... 3 Heresys up front.. with a denon 1800 receiver.. I know it's a old receiver.. but I'm on a budget.. the last question.. is.. are the rears as important as the front surrounds? there is no way I could get more Heresy's in my living room behind me.. could they fire at me from the sides.. I would rather get a small pair of speakers for rear.. is that really stupid? I guess I'll try it for a few days.. with just the front speakers.. then I'll borrow a pair of something else to put at the rear.. just to see what I'm dealing with.. thanks for helping a Total Noob.. Dwight New Orleans

it's really called a bucking magnet? or were you being polite? I'll look into it.. if someone has a good idea how to position a Heresy as a center.. I would love to see it.. will it sound ok if it's layin on it's side? I was thinking under the Tv as a Stand would be ok.. cinder block---- heresy---- TV some help would be greatly appreciated.. Does anyone ever use two speakers as a center? could that be done?

Ok. but I wanted to put the TV on The Heresy.. not the other way around.. it's a crt.. I have two heresy's for front surrounds.. and I'm not sure what i'm going to use for the rear yet.. it won't be Heresy's though.. I don't have enough room.. I think I will just try the three speaker system for awhile.. I saw some inexpensive cherry polks.. that i might pick up for temporary rears.. they are on ebay.. anyway.. can I put something in between the TV and the Speaker? what is a shield anyway? is it something solid? or is it mechanical?

I took everyones advice.. and bought a pair of heresy speakers on ebay to use one as a center.. Can I put a TV on top of the speaker is there going to be a problem with shielding? can I put something in between them that would help? Also.. I'll have a extra Heresy for sale.. if you are interested.. email me.. thanks Dwight

Ok.. I just bought two Heresy speakers on ebay.. I only need one of them.. if anyone is interested in a Heresy for a Center.. contact me via email.. The Other question I had is.. Can I put a TV on top of my Heresy Center.. is there a Shielding issue? what can I do about that? thanks Dwight

can i use a heresy as a TV stand? is there a shielding issue? thats the only way I think I could use a Heresy for the middle.. and thanks for your input.. thats kind of what I was hoping to hear.. unless one of you guys raves about the quintets.. I can't imagine them sounding any better than my computers Promedia 2.1's, which sound great for what they are.. but...
