That's why I did not ask in Planar. 2 separate rigs.
Speakers are the least accurate and weakest link for any reproduction chain. Speakers used to reproduce music accurately generally have insufficient dynamic range for home theatre* (I have two systems mah own self!). BUT, the centre channel is most often used for speach, and Maggies (or some other speaker that reproduces speach VERY clearly) might have some use there. There IS the matter of tonal incompatibility, but what the hey! For myself, I use Yamaha nearfield studio monitors everywhere (and a pair of Adire tempests as subs. . . they actually double as my subs in the audio system as well . . . the reason for two{well, mostly}). It works amazingly well, but then I am partial to flat response. I can actually use the same setup for pop/rock/electronic jazz, but in classical music, the violins would never forgive me (nor the acoustic guitars in 70's Ronstadt/Lightfoot pop, or acoustic folk!)*those who have Elvira Madigan, which is more about Mozart than the characters . . . well, you're allowed to differ! Use your music system for that.
Once you fully see the light, anything else is like listening to fingernail on a blackboard.
