15's and 18's work nicely mains/center/surrounds/subs for low level, impactful HT. Been using an older Infinity center channel for quite some time, finally got around to trying a 2226 and 2416 for a center.
Buddy Joe was down from Vermont for the holidays, so we dragged out Last Samurai, I Robot, Master and Commander, etc., had a good time. Receiver doesn't really do music justice, no balls in the amp/power supply to really properly control big magnets for dynamic music, (suprisingly okay for HT) but the 2-channel rig with beefy monoblocks can be switched to in a few minutes...............I really could see getting a ballsy big-assed AV receiver (like I used to have, but it was only Pro Logic, soon to be eclipsed).
Like to be able to have the best of both; switching from HT to stereo music listening without much compromise.
Looks like JBL is out of Performance Series components to stockpile some drivers for a proper future project. Oh well, didn't need to spend the money right now anyway.
Have a nice New Years, and crank up the GOOD tunes, eh?

BTW, out of view on the right side wall is a basement fireplace seldom used by the previous occupants; I've found it nice to use this winter in a basement setting with the movies going, for serious relaxation!
