Gaming Rig - Speaker Upgrade (part 3)

Follow up from my prior posts: http://projectable.me/post/137684124761/gaming-rig-speaker-upgrade-part-2-followup and http://projectable.me/post/136896495676/gaming-rig-speaker-upgrade-part-1-so-as-i

Finally found a matching center channel on eBay and got it installed! It is a Paradigm Cinema CC v.3, got it for $75 (not a steal, but not terrible). It came in fair condition, with a bit of cleaning it is totally fine.

Audibly these things are amazing, and the Z906 is doing a very good driving them, no ratable distortion or peaking. I spent some time in windows tweaking the EQ for the soundcard to get the full range out of these things, it was a little flat compared to what it could be.

Overall I am really happy I spent the time and money to do this, it is a worthy upgrade, and these speakers will be great if I ever decide to drop in an actual receiver and separate sub.
