I have nothing for you sir!

Pretty good, for the price. Small speakers have come a loooong way since you acquired your JBLs. Personally, i still prefer the 'fullness' of floor speakers, though. Is your room large? Maybe you could just use your JBLs for front, and those Polks for the sides and rears. Sometimes you can get away with mixing speakers, sometimes it sounds funny. On top of that, speakers sound weak and empty until you break them in for 100 hours or so. Do you currently have a centre? Iv'e found that a weak centre with Large fronts will make drown out he centre.

Or hey, you could save the Polks for your PC. Or use them for a second zone and install them on a deck or another room.

I would use the center to replace my center and the others for the rear and side speakers.  I would keep the JBL for the fronts for now.  Or should I go with this one, Better center.

Good specs on that centre, but mixing the front speakers may sound odd for you. As an alternative, you could use that first bundle and use the centre for a rear center, if the receiver supports it. or 6.1, and double up the small speakers on a d-y- dipole setup, and use two per side, or one set on side, and one set for Presence speakers.

Don't worry, I went through all this when i was shopping for my HT setup.

Edit: are you actually buying from Worstbuy, or is it for sake of getting specs? Searching for all that stuff, i see it cheaper elsewhere. Amazon has it for $770, and Frys and Crutchfield for 999. Those places may do price matching.

Might just get the receiver and wait on the speakers.  That way I can get them all from the same series and manufacturer.  Plus I would need to get into the attic and run some new speaker lines and wall plates.  Bestbuy is not my favorite store but they are price matching now.  Wish Circuit City was still around always had good luck with them.

Got the 828 receiver yesterday and WOW I love it!!!  Even with the older speakers it sounds great.  Speakers will be next year.  Thanks for the help guys.

Excellent.  It's amazing how modern reveivers can sound, a s process the input you give  'em.
