[QUOTE="Arc, post: 1116378, member: 23649"] [USER=23412]@goldfritter[/USER] As a fellow "budget" conscious with a similar setup and room/practicality constrains, here's my 2c. My room is about 3.8x4m. I started with Bently FR100's and a Yamaha RXA820. After that I added FR50 rears and used a phantom center. Later I got a good deal on a FC100 center which changed the system dramatically for movies and I was sold on a center speaker for this application. I now run FS120's, FC150, FR50 rears and for atmos with a Denon x3400h. What I can recall, the FC100 were a bit more detailed to me, but the FC150 adds more presence and create a fuller sound. I thought about FR80 rears, but according to Bizkit's latest review in the Bentley's the FR50's tweeters can be more detailed but the FR80's obviously has more bass. I have no issue with the FR50s and really like them for surrounds and atmos. Also as a side note, the Denon vs the Yamaha, the Yamaha was a bit more detailed to my ears, however, the Denon has so much more bass and presence, the highs are also more pronounced. Anyway, this is my experience, I would go for the FC150 and FR50s. [/QUOTE]
