Love your channel! the cinematography and editing in your videos is excellent, really a bummer that you don't get more exposure than you do because honestly you deserve even 100x the subs you have rn. I bought me an lp60x with confidence because of your review and im loving every second of using it.
Wholeheartedly agree.Bought the Sony PS-LX310BT turntable based on your positive review 2 years ago and absolutely love it.Keep doing what you're doing with your honest and detailed reviews
Sorry for the late reply but thanks so much for the wonderful comments and kind words! Glad that you are loving your purchase still!
@@razorone2299 Thank you so much!
hi! loved the video and learned a lot :) I was looking at the Micca MB42X-C center speaker for my audio technica record player. would it work with the record player and if so, would i need an amp or reciever at all? Thank you!
if you want center channel, but i would recommend using 2ch stereo for playing LPs, as this is the best way to listen to it :)
Great video! If I already have 2 bookshelves and a dedicated subwoofer, do I need my center to provide much bass? I’m wondering if the Sony is worth the cost and space increase over Micca
bass from the center channel is very nice while watching movies so i believe that its worth it though im not a expert
Good sale now on, so looking at Polk E350 @ $299.00 CAD and the Klipsch Reference Next-Generation R-50C @ $278, can't decide between the two. Any advice would be helpful

Klipsch will generally be more efficient, so low power goes further in terms of volume. Sound quality is subjective however.
Great video man thanks!!! I want your opinion on something. I recently purchased 2 PolkAudio CSM center channel speakers and i decided to connect them as front left and right speakers. I haven't received them yet but have never used center channel speakers before. Have you ever tried to use them that way as oppose to single center channel speaker. Would like to hear your input, thanks!
I personally have not used a center channel speaker as a F L/R speaker setup, I am not sure what the benefit would be. Personally, I'd stick with going for speakers that are specifically designed for the F L/R setup.
for those that aren't self ordained audiophiles yelling at us from deep down the rabbit hole to spend spend spend , Polk is the way to go . they are just VERy hard to beat for the money . My all time fav speakers are still the ORIGNAL multi speaker SDAs . They were/are nothing special to look at but WOW what an incredible sound stage and super fast bass . they were rated at 18 hz!
