Why am I answering a 17 Year Old Post?

That's Very Nice

I think using wall mounted speakers, firing in a different direction than the main's will add dispersion and give you the illusion that you're looking for. You still get the sound of the mains off axis in another room but more direct sound from quality wall mounted speakers for sending sound to the other areas. Better get a 5 to 7 channel AVR and just go for it or get that BOSE system for 2 or 3 Grand.

Since you have a entry level Onkyo, I'd replace it. Also watch the loudness, when it starts to distort, you ran out of power and could burn your speakers up. If you're on the cheap try Accessories4less for a refub unit or buy new for full price. I have a Denon, not a big room, but mine can get very very loud without distortion. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/category/avreceiver/home-audio/receivers-amps/home-theater-receivers/1.html follow this link. Try a different brand.

What AVR are you going to use? Speaker are right.

WV TROUBLE MAKER, WELCOME TO THE CLUB.

I guess we're supposed to decide for him--he's lost interest in our replies.

News guys standing on the waters edge. I wonder if they'll be there all night? That guy on Fox news almost fell over and he's right on the water's edge.

We've had plenty -o-rain

Very nice when it all comes together. Have Fun.

Doesn't make sense to me. You have 2??? Gonna lay one down? Will a bookshelf support the weight of a RF 7 ? They are pretty heavy.

I'm really expecting some guy from The Weather Channel to be reporting LIVE. Showing us all the rain and wind force. Just like they did last time. Takes real brains to do that.

I'm here listening to the Bruce Hornsby Solo Concerts at a low volume and it's very clear and dynamic. Surprisingly good dynamic range through my little Denon and my cheap towers at such low volumes. Great Piano Sounds.

Have you thought about buying a Refurbished unit ? I did and not one problem. https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/denavrx2400h/denon-avr-x2400h-7.2-ch-x-95-watts-networking-a/v-receiver-w/heos/1.html https://www.accessories4less.com/make-a-store/item/marsr5012/marantz-sr5012-7.2-ch-x-100-watts-networking-a/v-receiver-w/heos/1.html

If you get a decent size center and do any "upgrading" at a later time, you already have the center covered. I personally like a big center. I don't understand why dialogue would be unclear without a center. My system can deliver clear sound without the center. Maybe you also have other issues.

FWIW--I ran a mismatched center and had zero issues. Of course all the speakers were good quality--Take a Shot, Live a Little.

Go ahead and buy the Klipsch center. Don't be surprised when you start replacing your other speakers because the Klipsch sounds better.

If people are too dumb to understand what I write as not being offensive, they're the ones with the problem. This includes the one who gave me the "Warning Point". Uncalled for and unfair.

Mr. McCain's long expected passing has happened and it's a sad life changing event for his family. I can understand people expressing their sorrow for his passing. I haven't said anything to the contrary or disrespected any forum member in any way for any post regarding his passing. Those of you who want to put something into my remarks, That isn't there, Well, that's on you.

Thanks for defending me, I chose not to respond as people take themselves to serious. I have been given a "Warning Point:, for my remark. Over reaction to a non hostile post. If my remark was so VILE as to warrant a "Warning Point", this forum is in trouble. Sincerely, Me

YES THEY DO--Now just Bigger, Stronger, More Virile.

FIREWORKS ? Just wait till Obama or Trump dies.... Oops, I said it again.

Can't you comment without bashing the President ? What's your problem ?
