Just to clarify for others, our subs are $499 and $699 U.S. MSRP. The SuperSat 50C center speaker is $499.

Thanks again - enjoy the music.

That's music to my ears!! Sorry, but I had to assume the worst with things being what they are and my worry or skidishness with having to fork out so much of my hard earned money for a high performance pair of L/Rs. Still beats having to buy cheaper low-performance speakers many times over which at the end of the day costs more. I like to use the analogy of you can either buy a $10 skillet and have to replace it every 3 months which is $40 a year or you can buy a $30 skillet once and have it for 3 years.
This revelation relieves that a lot.
I'll be sure to check out the 50C as well when I re-audition the towers!

Obviously, I don't need to replace my sub and if the towers work out and can handle HT application like a seperate sub (feel the explosions and such through part of the house, etc), then I won't need to bother with my sub at all and can put it in storage for later or something.

Here's to new hope.
