  1. Happy to report that I picked up a centersat7 on eBay and it sounds great with the t930's. I put my old Paradigm Titans to work as rear surrounds and I now have an excellent 5.0 system for opera on blu-ray.
  2. Well, I have the same problem: an old pair of T930's which I bought for my girlfriend a few years before I married her 18 years ago because they were the cleanest sounding (for classical/opera), relatively efficient, sub-$800 speakers I could find, but which after our marriage were always our second system because they couldn't compete with my more expensive and refined KEF's or later with my even more expensive and refined Theils. I have recently re-foamed the T930's, which had developed some gaping holes in the foam, so they are sounding almost new even though they look terrible because the vinyl is peeling off the boxes. The T930's make a very nice 2.0 system for my big screen tee-vee, but I want to upgrade to 5.0 (I'm thinking that with the T930's I shouldn't need a sub--do you agree?) Anyway, do any of you have a specific recommendation for a legacy center speaker? Steve F. above suggested that a BA aluminum tweeter-based center might not play nice with the T930's. I have seen the BA Centersat7 recommended for the 930's on the theory that it shares the same dome tweeter as the 930's. Any truth to that? Any other recommendations? A couple more questions from this old-style audiophile who is newly mystified by home theater sound: how critical are the surrounds--will any good bookshelf speaker (such as a pair of old Paradigm Titans) play nice with the T930's? And another thing about which I'm wondering--when shopping for a center or surround speaker on e-bay or Audiogon where I can't audition the merchandise, should I be looking for something with the same efficiency numbers as the 930's so that the system is volume-balanced? Also, would re-foaming the 930's change their efficiency numbers so it's a fool's errand trying to match? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
