Add the super T and PE sub and you have a nice system under 500.00.

C190 is pretty hot for positioning away from wall boundaries - wonder if it might be easily re-balanced?here it is compared to a fresh Insignia coax mini & on axis ~4ft, both speakers in ~same spot and away from wall. Insignia's balance is favorable for this in nearfield
I will ask the million dollar question!Does the Insignia sound just as good as the C190?
There has been quite a debate about the value of these Insignia's at their suggested list compared with other venerable speakers.
insignia (believe out of production-?) was decent at 5-6 foot listening - especially for $50 pair. C190's sound is taking a good rising trend and can play louder/cleaner and are $250/pr. Insignia looked good without grill. Insignaia might sound good away from boundaries running at low levels playing jazz and lounge music. If pushed in anything other than tiny room then Insignia will not have much dynamics and go to mush. (I like big speaskers and peaks) 10dB less treble = 10dB more "bass" - kinda-haha. coaxial have some advantages up close - I think (?)
