Home Theater Details

I love watching movies and listening to music. I think I can trace my love of music easily back to my dad who loved to listen at unreasonable volumes even when I was young. He used to have 4 large Kenwood speakers that were just amazing to me as a kid. It was all late 70s early 80s stuff that he spent hours cranking out AC/DC, Foreigner, Boston, Pink Floyd etc and ever since I moved out on my own I have continued that tradition with my own equipment.  Over the years I have had a few different setups. My first "big boy" stereo was a Kenwood Receiver with 4 Infinity Studio Monitor speakers and an 8-inch Infinity subwoofer. Years later those speakers got a bit worn (foam surrounds went) and I started upgrading to a newer 5.1 setup which supported newer audio formats that movies were using. I have also had a 6 disk Onkyo CD changer for quite awhile, though with streaming (Spotify/Plex) it gets used a lot less than it used to.  That upgrade (not quite all at once) went to an Onkyo

Super busy but a new addition

 Like most I have been super busy, but one of my passions I have never posted about is home audio/theater. Here soon I will do more of a write-up of my full system as I want to expand the topics so I have more content (even if few ever see it...lol) . My room isn't the greatest since I live in an old house and I am stuck within a lot of the constraints of it. Today though I am just going to post the following.  After nearly 20 years I finally am giving another center channel speaker a chance vs my old reliable Klipsch KSC-1. I have literally changed every other speaker in some cases more than once while it was here. SVS Prime center gets the nod for the attempt and with their 45 day no questions asked returns I figured why not. It doesn't fully fit under my TV and I knew it wouldn't but I knew it also wouldn't be in the way. So far just listening to music it sounds pretty comparable to the Klipsch though maybe a bit fuller during stringed instruments sections. Sensitivi
