About a decade ago I bought a pair of 5.2's and have trekked from New Hampshire to California with them in tow. In college and grad school I never had a TV so I didn't purchase a center channel or rear speakers. Now that i've got a place to settle down, I'm wondering what my options are regarding my 5.2's. My humble questions are as follows: 1. Am I limited to using a KG 2.2 or KG 1.2? Or can I purchase a different Klipsch model (or any other model) center speaker? (i have had difficulty finding them on eBay). Also, am I free to use any type of rear surround speakers or will i have trouble matching the levels of my surround sound? 2. I am using a Harmon/Kardon AV receiver. It seems like I have to turn the volume way, way up to get decent home theatre sound. I was told that Klipsch speakers were very efficient and did not need a lot of power. Is that true, or should i consider purchasing an amp to increase my power? Thank you for your help, David
