    newbie home theater question.

    As has already been stated, you're not going to get anything stellar in that price range. You could save yourself some money with Onkyo refurbs in that price range: Shop Onkyo It would be nice to have enough audio inputs for all of your equipment, and maybe even video switching, but you're not...

    I know Paradigm has some wall-mount options. They have the Cinema series, and at least at one point the Monitor series had wall-mount available as well. From a quick glance at their website, it looks like they have a new line of Cinema series. The originals would have fallen well within your...

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    Wow - those are sharp looking. I like the look more than my older Yambeka's - especially the piano finish. But then, I also only paid I believe $169 shipped for my 5.0 set. The logo also looks a lot more professional than the original one.

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    My impartial review is - they sound great for the price. Do they rival my Paradigm setup? No! But I paid a bit more for my Paradigms... I have them hooked up to a Yamaha receiver in our living room - we do little more than watch TV in that room, so I can't say that I push them very hard. But...

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    I haven't been in this thread for a while, but I'll add my $.02. I'm still very happy with them after several months of ownership. Keep in mind these are in our living room, and we don't really drive them all that hard. But they sound great with general TV viewing (both DirecTV and OTA). We...

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    It's not tiny be any means, but I'd hardly call in "massive". :) It's half the size of my Paradigm center. I bought the following to put on top of my Sony, and it has worked great (even better than I expected based on the pic):

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    I finally got my speakers hooked up last night to my Yamaha receiver (that I spent the night before unhooking from my HT setup to install my new Onkyo receiver). At this point, we have only watched HDTV - no movies or music at all. So, I can't say I'm qualified yet to give much of a review, but...

    I don't feel the website is very intuitive, but it does show that you can buy an individual center channel: http://www.yambekaaudio.com/speakers4.html

    I placed my order late Monday night (after 10pm), and it looks like they're on the truck for delivery today! Looks like I have to make time to move my receiver tonight so I can test them out!

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    I just placed my order! We've had an LCD TV in our living room since June with no receiver/speakers hooked up to it. I just purchased a new Onkyo receiver to put in the dedicated HT, and will be moving my old Yamaha receiver to the living room to pair with the new Yambekas! This better be...

    Satelliteguys Exclusive- Yambeka 5 Speaker HT

    Might have to pick a set of these up! We've had an LCD in our LR since May, but have still not gotten a receiver/speakers hooked up to it. This would fit the bill (pun intended) nicely! Can you give me dimensions on the center speaker - my TV stand is somewhat limited on space...
