Thanks for the welcome, Weber! I had a 3.1 setup with the RC35 as a center, RB 5IIs as LR, and a Paradigm RW 2200-V2 sub. I was using a Yamaha RX-V2400 as the receiver/amp. All that was replaced with a Klipsch R-20B soundbar. The soundbar is impressive, but it certainly does not replace the old set-up in every aspect (especially fidelity and volume). The biggest advantages of the soundbar are - the much smaller equipment footprint and a happier wife !
thanks, jt
