How are Soliloquy's in HT?

I've read many reviews on these speakers and many owners seem to be happy? On the HT side, how do they perform? The reason I ask is last week, I listened to the 6.5 and 5.3. On the music side, I had no complaints but something was missing when viewing a movie in HT? One thing I should mention, on the music side they were hooked to a marsh amp(A400), in HT they were hooked up to the Cary Cinema 5. Detail and dynamics just weren't there. It was hooked up to a AAD sub. Could it be the Sol center channel isn't up to par? Could it be the Sol's are good on the music side but not in HT?

I was hoping to listen to the 6.3 but they didn't not have any to listen to.

thanks

I have 6 Sat-5's for theater and it is awesome. I'm actually using 2 for the center. The sub is a 15 velodyne ULD-15 with 400 watt amp, Anthem AVM-2 pre/pro/tuner, HK signature 2.1 amp and Denon 2200 dvd. I wouldn't trade the soliloquys for anything. Also, since the sub is sooooo good, I went for the tiny Sat-5's since sonically they are quite similar to the larger models. Hey, my wife and commented on how nice the finish was!

They sound great. The price couldn't be beat. Contact underwoodhifi.com if you want to check out pricing.

I Agree with Elevick ..I have owned the 6.3s .Those are killer for music or movies. Subs need not apply when these are your mains!

I have the C-3 center and the sat5s surround set up in my HT. I am waiting on the 5.3s. The center seems quite excellent to me, as do the surronds. Even without having the 5.3s yet, and still using boston acoustics for mains, the improvem,ent is dramatic in HT application even before much of a break in period. I dont think the c-3 is a weak center at all. My previous center was a paradigm CC series adn the surrounds were PSB Alpha SEs. The Paradigm is no match for C-3 Center.
