I finally got the lcr600 to go with my 603s3's.They sound awesome for ht.Even in stereo i have the 603s3 set to large w/sub and they are great all by themselves.I will probably get the surrounds to complete the setup early next year.Will probably get the 601s3 since they have to be wall mounted.I believe i have completed my upgradeitis for a while.I had gotten the rotel rsx1056 earlier.I've been able to do this in a matter of a cpl of months so obviously the best is yet to come when everything will be broken in.My receiver allows for 3 & 5 channel stereo and was wondering since i have the 603s3 set to large for stereo should i also set the center to large for stereo.What do you think?

Rick,
Congratulations...
Re your question... As soon as you go 3 or 5 channel stereo the processor will digitise your 2 channel signal in order to generate the extra channels - so the "pure" benefits of your 2 channel bypass mode are gone... In which case - I'd set the speakers all to small for 3 and 5 channel stereo and try difference crossovers (60 Hz or 80 Hz for them)...

Thanks, i have it set that way now.I actually have the 603s3 set at 60,as far as the other settings am i ok.Ref spks to small for ht and 603s3 in stereo set to large w/sub yes instead of no.Comment

but the 603s should be set as large during break-in period, right? I don't think setting them as small will give the woofers any chance to exercise.Comment

Are you saying i should set them to large for ht/tv instead of small.They are'nt new but are definately not broken in yet.Previous owner had them in a bedroom and rarley used them and when he did it was moderate.Comment

Was wondering what all those that have the 603s3 are powering them with.I personally have the 603s3 w/lcr600 center and eventually will add the 601s3 as surrounds.I'm using rotel rsx1056 for now dont know if adding an amp would benefit me but would like to know what you guys are using to get some ideas.As... -
I will appreciate your advice on what center may go with the my mains. LCR600 will be too enormous and ... ugly sitting below the TV on the furniture. At least this is what my wife says. Do you think that VM1 would be compatible? Any other options including not B&W speaker?
Thank... -
:T Why aren't there more people doing the DIY with larger woofers? I know cost is an issue but it seems like the largest driver that most people are using are 8", which is NOT going to truly play that low-freq subbass. I've read many posts where people are so confident, that for stereo listening,... -
I have the following speaker setup:
DM604 S3 (Fronts)
M601 S3 (Rears)
LCR600 S3 (Centre)
SVS PB12 ISD (Sub)
I think I cheaped out too much on the receiver (Yamaha RX-v750). The Yammie has a nice array of processing modes for HT and the auto level set... -
Was wondering if any you 603s3 users are using the lcr60 as a center instead of the 600.The reason i ask this is that i will using my existing center for now and i may only be able to afford the lcr60.I would like to get the 600 but i wont be able to right now.If any of you are using the lcr60 how compatible...
