what is a good brand/model for a 3"-4" mid range speaker. i will be using it as a center speaker for a 5.1 setup. i am using the avm-p9000r for the 6 channel audio, so 50w rms should be sufficient.

How about this: http://www.creativesound.ca/details.php?model=WR125S

They are a true full range driver. In a .25 cubic foot ported enclosure you will have extention all the way up to 18 kHz on axis and some decent output down to 60 Hz. They should work great as a center channel speaker. Just be warned that they are 8 ohm drivers.

Looks impressive. Hey Steven, do you know if Adire is planning to put together a kit using some Extremis drivers and some Koda 8 midbass drivers? :-)

I'm not sure. I would sure like to see some XBL^2 kits personally as no other company would have kit that could compete. But we have so much other stuff going on right now, I don't know if it will happen any time soon if at all.

Honestly I would like to see instead an MTM setup using the Extremis 6. It would have the extention of our Kit 281, but have a better midrange. They would easily surpass any tower speaker in the $10k and under price range.

BTW, I'm going to use those Creative Sound 4" full range drivers as my rear surrounds in my home theater.

since JL Audio makes good speakers and i already have an amp and sub from them. I have considered matching the rest of my speakers to them. Are either of these 4" speakers good?

Also, which is better for center speaker? component midrange or coaxial?

one thing i noted was they didnt list any specs for the component midrange. why is that?

I looked at the speaker that was recommended earlier and it looked nice. Only its not available, and the pre-order price is MORE than the original price. that seems kind of weird to me. So if i do get it, I will just wait until it comes out to save the difference.

I'd listen before buying. I've actually never liked the sound of JL mids / high speakers for the price. They make great subs, but their coax and components have never sounded good to me. I have a/b tested them with Memphis, Diamond, and Mb Quart and liked all of the above better than the JLs.

I actually have a pair of the XR 4CX that I have never installed.

I was thinking of either installing them in my Blazer or selling them. But if I were to sell them I would want more than $100.00 thats for sure.
