Thanks kex for giving me a better ideaof how the Cbm-170's perform. It appears they are very close to the mini's which I do like. But, they are no where as good as the 20's. To be honest, I am not the build your own type. The kits are a good idea but by the time I pay for the parts, cabinets, and etc. I might as well just buy the 20's. I think at this time I will go with the studio 20's and use my cc-170 for the time being. Then, I will get the cc-470 asap. Finally, I will in all liklihood end up with another pair of the 20's for my rear stage but will use my Titans until I can get another pair. That way I will be more than happy, not wasting my time demoing speakers I have never heard or driving all over Gods country finding a dealer that carries this brand and etc. So step one: Buy (1) set of the studio 20's.
Step two: Buy the cc-470.
Step three: Buy (1) set of the studio 20's.
Step four: Buy an SVS PB10-ISD.
I believe this is a better plan of action and should be able to do this within a year. I may also decide to go with the Polk Rti6's(fronts), Csi5(center), and the Rti4's(rears) instead. I have demoed the Polks extensively and do like the Rti series. Another strong contender may be the Monitor 3's(fronts), cc-370(center), and the minis(rears). Just depends on my cash flow. I realize the studios are a significant step above the other two systems but it all depends on my finances. Another consideration is the B&W 602s3 configuration that is also a step above the previously mentioned systems but is not as expensive as the studio system. The B&W's would be fine but IMHO the studios are where it is at. Not sure yet just how things will pan out. Crutchfield always offers great deals on Polks during the holiday season just before Thanksgiving. If the deals are too sweet to pass up i will end up with the Polk Rtis.
