Had a recent addition to my HT system.... so awesome I thought I'd share.

Yeah, it's the big 3way sucker.


Here's the other one... sorta overpowers the speaker stand, hahaha


Last night I used just those speakers and played a VQ35 cattman (I think) exhaust clip... I could feel it. And I don't mean the bass, just the mid/midbass rattled through my body. And that was at -25dB.

Oh well, thought I'd share my happiness.

P.S. yes, I know I don't yet have a center. I know what center I want but it's not cheap, and it won't fit anywhere. Hmmmmm.

Congrats MorpheusZero! Gotta love HT. I'm looking forward to a pair of PSB Alpha B's and SubSeries 6.1 12" sub myself I got on the way to finish my setup. Slowly but surely.

Good luck w'm!

looks good. You should look into the EC35 for center and mount it on top tof the Tv of course you would have to move your DVD somewhere else

Yeah, the "new" ones are JBL E50s. The sub is an E250P and the "little" surround bookshelves are E20s. I definitely want the EC35, but it's 7" tall and there's only 6" of room between the top of the TV and the top of the cabinet. If I were to get maybe a 26" HDTV then there would be enough room... but I'm short on cash in the first place, plus we just got evicted and I might never see that little "entertainment center" again. The TV's just some 27" flatscreen with component in that we got for like $200, I figure that I'll wait until I get a good chunk of money before I go all out on an HDTV. But it's got a nice clear picture, component in helps a lot. I'm still a poor college student and I can't afford a really nice TV... but I'll get one eventually.

Thanks for the comments guys, the sound is AWESOME now... I remember after I got my subwoofer I had multiple noise complaints within the first half hour... but these are insane. The Northridge line is amazing sound quality for the price, got my 2way 5.25" E20s for $110 shipped a long time ago, the 12" 250watt RMS self-powered E250P for $250 shipped, and the 3way 8" E50s for $240 shipped, they all sound incredible and can NOT be beat for the price.

The fit and finish on the PSBs looks really nice.. that's the one thing that I didn't like so much about the JBLs--they basically put all the R&D money into making them sturdy and making them sound good. That is AWESOME, but it means I get a plasticky faux-wood finish. Oh well. Good luck with that, man, post up some pics when you get 'em.
