Price Paid:  $799.00 from Crutchfield

Summary:
This system Rocks for theater listening. It comes with a 12 in the sub box. Hard to find a system with this in this price range. This system is clear. I previously had Cerwin Vega LS-12's a LS-6C center and Bose 201 on the rears. This system sounds much nicer than the old setup. Could have been due to the mix and match Vega/Bose. Great for movies, don't use it much for straight music. I turn back to the Cerwin-Vegas or Bose. It seems that you have to adjust the sub on the RM20's when wanting to listen to music, compared to movie setting, so I just use for movies. Sounds good with music, but I would recommend using another set of speakers for music.

Strengths:
solid clear sound. The sub will blow the room away. If you want to feel the movie and shake the house get this setup.

Weaknesses:
The light fixtures on the theater room walls shake when turned up. Prepare to secure any rattles.
