I dunno if it's true or not, but mine just arrived today and i wanna get this straight. I listen to music in 6 channel sometimes....someone told me they blew there center channel by playing loud music thru it (or it included).
Is that possible, should i never play loud music while in theatre mode or anything other than stereo?

A well matched center speaker will play as loud, hard as your right and left speakers, now if you have a cheap center channel you may want to limit the bass that goes to it. Just make sure it is secure on your tv or on the shelf, mine almost vibrated off when I had it pounding.

ehhh....
well it's athena's top end as-f2 front speakers that i have, and their only center chanenl, i belieive it's the as-c1.
It's set to small thru the receiver as i never would expect much bass thru the center channel - but someone told me they once blew there's supposedly by playing music too loud thru the center (doesn't make sense to me, but what do i know)

Make sure you have some sort of bass management in your receiver turned on. Obviously you don't want to feed a full range signal to your center channel speaker. As long as its high-passed at 80-120hz (like car audio) it should be fine at whatever volume you listen to.

ps. Any home audio types reading this...I have a Sony SACD player FS, looking for $100+shipping.
