OK, so the system is finally done and has been up and running for a while.....I love it!!! Compared to what I had previously, this system is wonderful. It ended up being a Denon AVR-2112ci, VF-36 mains, VC-25 center channel, VS-14 surrounds, and a Hsu STF-2 sub. Thanks to all for your help. This of course, is a work in progress. We'll see what the future brings!

It was a "new other" listing, described as an open box. I'm hoping it turns out well as eBay can sometimes be a real roll of the dice. Now I'm thinking about splurging on a Hsu STF-2 sub, but I'm not sure I'll get that by the "ways & means committee"!!

Well, here's some decent news....I found a VC-25 on eBay. I purchased it and it should be delivered soon. Now, I will be searching for a sub!

Thanks for the "look in a BB store" reference. I had only looked at the BB website which showed that model on backorder. I checked the nearest store to me, (I live in a rural area and it's 90 miles away!), and they have one in stock. My wife will be there on business in the very near future, so I'll probably have her pick it up. But, I'm still interested in hearing any opinions on other possibilities.....Now that I've started this quest for that illusive "better" system, I fear I shall be on this road for a long time!

Thanks. I've been a "lurker" for a while, but decided I needed some specific assistance. Part of the reason I posted was because I've been having difficulty finding an Icon series center speaker. I was curious what else in the product line might match up fairly well with what I already own. I believe the VC-25 isn't in production any longer, and I haven't found a KC-25 yet, (new or used). And it always seems to be a balancing act in choosing individual components of a multi-component system-- are you buying for the present system or for future expansion/upgrades. Anyway, thanks for the responses and any other suggestions/opinions will be appreciated.

Howdy. I've been slowly building a system. I have a Denon AVR-2112CI, Klipsch VF-36 fronts, Klipsch VS-14 surrounds, and a cheap Sony sub (that will soon be replaced. I'd like a Klipsch center channel that will match well with the system. It will be cabinet mounted, but there's room for a fairly large speaker (at least to me!!). I'm thinking a RC52 or RC-52ii. Any thoughts?? Thanks.
