Damn that is an expensive tool. Might be cheaper to mail you the speakers. Hopefully I can find a local electronics repair place around that might have a similar tool and test them for me.

Colts, if you really want to waste time and money mailing the speakers, I have a spare receiver that I could test them on

Just hit up a yard sale, ask if you can see if receiver works by plugging your speaker up.

Yeah, the FH6 has 6.5" woofers and horn. 25 lbs.

It's rated at 175W peak, 96 db @ 1w/m, up to 116 high output sensitivity. Best thing is 5 year warranty all incl.

My freaking center is huge too: https://www.aperionaudio.com/speaker...hannel-speaker


I love the sound of it though.. paired with some Polk Tsi300 freestanding speakers and a Polk PSW10, it does a damn good job on a budget

You're in the wrong forum if you don't want to be tempted to spend money.. AZ and the Internet in general keeps making me spend more money..

Be a man.. do the right thing.

I mean seriously.. you have 12" woofers.

You should at least have a two 6x9 center woofers.

You probably need small tweeters to make up for all that lost mid and high.

No I wasn't serious about the original post either. Most likely going to email Def Tech and see what they say about them.

Damn I thought my center channel was large at 21x12x5.5. It does have its own sub though.

I do need to add one large or two small subs to my setup though next. I have spent a fortune on the rest so far. Hoping I can pull that part off for $1000-1200 tops.

Not my setup, but these are the speakers I have (KEF Q900 and KEF Q600c)





The second from the right are the Q300s. They are my rear speakers:



My fronts are not pictured in that second picture. From the left, they are the Q700, Q500, Q300, and Q100

Justn.. I've seen many setups. You'd be surprised by how many live in a dump but have +$10k audio setup. That pic isn't bad at all.

and again, i'm still using a coffee table as my tv stand.
