Congrats Erwin. Looks good!
For HT the Front Left, Front Right and Center should be identical if not timber matched. The surrounds are for effects and ambiance so it does not have to be the same as the L C R.
I used to have a Sonus Faber speakers (L C R) and B&W dipole surrounds. Highly musical. Nowadays, I am using a PMC OB1i and a matching PMC CB6i for the center channel and for the L&R rear surrounds, I am using a JVC center channel. They are truly an audiophile speakers. Highly recommended.

Levi, thank you for recommending those speakers but I think I can't afford it.  How about these ones revel f12, these are still with in my budget range. ;D Recommend me a center speaker that will match these f12 or do you know any better speakers than f12 where the price range are the same. Thanks |

Levi, I found the same brand for center speaker. The revel c 12, I might just go with these combos. Thanks for the help btw. Your recommended speakers costs a fortune.  |

I never heard of the Revel Concerta speaker line. I know people who owned the Ultima Salon2 and they are very happy with it. I normally go out and try to audition them before buying. If that sounds good to your ears, then I think you found a winner.  |

Installed the reciever, never heared such beautiful sounds like this before. Still waiting for oppo. Can't decide which speakers yet, recommend me audiophile people.  beri NICE and congrats Erwin! Not that I can recommend you something, but Merlin for sure will not leave you in the dark.....the guy have decades long of know how about it. So, just ask away. Also, my speakers are already discontinued - just got lucky and was able to get it somewhere. I can't wait when you get the whole thing dialed...that for sure will get your neighbor mad as hell |

Levi, that's sad lol. That means those speakers are not good then, I think they just came out in 2009 with the affordable ones. But the brand is known for selling $20,000 / pair speakers as to what I've read online. Okay how about the b&w 683's and htm61 combos. They are available in best buy here in manhattan. Any input?
@52 lol. No I'm not that bad. Thanks guys

Congrats!
I will position the center channel right below the TV so the vocal will integrate well with the sound coming from the screen.

Center channel in the middle, receiver on the bottom turned out to be a nice change. I am sure you calibrated the delay and speaker distance. In addition, you should hardly notice the center channel sound anywhere in the sitting area. Focus is on the screen or whatever you are watching.
Now that should last you and your family many hours of enjoyment.
