Thanks Gonk and Zacster for your responses...

I guess what I really want to know is what kind of sonic enhancement adding a couple outboard M200s to my 1050 would do for my fronts for music and movies as well as what I would gain freeing up some internal power for the center and three surrounds.

You're right, Gonk, my NHT supers are all 86db. - not efficient, but being a musician myself, I appreciate the NHT's accuracy and brutal honesty with different sources.

What do you think - would I be buying a $500 placebo?
