Thiel Powerpoints for front speakers?

I recently purchased the Thiel Powerpoints for use as side and rear surround speakers in a seven channel system. Out of curiousity, I hooked one up for use as a center channel, in place of a B&W Matrix HTM. Although very clean and natural sounding, the Powerpoint is a bit lean, with little output below what I would guess around 80Hz. They may do okay with dialogue, but as previously noted in the discussion forum, would be lacking for music reproduction without the support of a subwoofer. Otherwise a remarkable speaker.

Do you have room for, say three SCS3's for L/C/R? The SCS3 is often overlooked for L/R use, but I find it to be an inscredibly impressive speaker for its size/price. Three of them across the front with Powerpoints for surrounds would make for one heck of a system. The SCS3 has remarkable low end excursion, too (46Hz-22kHz)). But, of course, a qualtiy subwoofer would make for a good addition.

My system is 7 Thiel Powerpoints combined with dual Velodyne DD-15's. Five of the Powerpoints are ceiling mounted, two are positioned facing up my back wall.
Pre/Pro is an Anthem Statement D1, amplifiers are two Rotel RMB-1075's (with the extra channels feeding Niles rock speakers on an adjacent outdoor patio/garden).

My video is one of the last still breathing "bleeding edge" Toshiba LCoS 57HLX82 sets (now over 2 years old) that Toshiba hasn't had to buy back.

I collect music videos so I like to watch/listen to music more than just listen to music. The DD-15's are incredible subwoofers and they provide perfectly controlled low end in a 9,000+ cu ft space.

I am very satisfied with my 7.2 Powerpoint/DD-15's set-up.

I'm no purest, but my last music system was a pair of heavily modified classic Dahlquist DQ-10's powered with Conrad Johnson tube preamp and a Hafler DH-500 amp.

Nearly all of my present audio gear was purchased via Audiogon.

Cargen, that is the real thiel you got there. I agree about the scs 3's, although I have the older scs's as
center and as rear surrounds on a 5.1 system, with thiel 2.2's as mains;I have a velodyne ULD-II sub and a Rotel 1095 amp. I'm romancing various replacements for the Yamaha DSP A-1 being used as a pre-pro. The scs's might be a bit directional used as rears, so maybe the powerpoints would be a better match. I guess as soon as I settle on a processor (the Rotel 1068 makes sense) I may check them out..Like you, I've bought a lot of my stuff used and on Audiogon
