This!
Although I sometimes like to add in a little sub kick for vinyl. (Little!) Out of curiosity, Zombie what Klipsch do you have? I've got my whole 5.1 setup by them and my mains/surrounds are the KG.5
I couldn't say at the moment what model they are. I got into Klipsch because my dad is a real audiophile and he came home one day with the biggest speakers I have ever seen in my life--to this day--in his van and they were $4000 Klipsch towers. Before that he had really good Mission speakers (another great brand that doesn't get much recognition) but these things were so monstrous that my jaw dropped just from seeing them and let me tell you, they are the best speakers I have ever heard, anywhere, ever--and they were in my own house! When you cranked those up and put on some Zeppelin it would make you cry from the clarity and bass and power. I hooked them up to my TV at one point and put on Terminator 2. It was just a VHS tape, nothing fancy at all, but I remember there is the scene where Arnold comes in on the Harley Davidson and the bass was so intense it was like having a bike in the room. We had a motorcycle in the garage and even the real thing didn't have that much kick! Since then I've never owned anything but Klipsch. The ones I have are much cheaper but they have so much kick that I often have to turn down the bass, lest my neighbours complain (which they have!). That's why I am always apprehensive about subs. Sometimes they provide a little help, and movies (and also sometimes electronic music) have subtle low-frequency things that are designed to roll through the room and provide a physical sensation, but more or less if you have good speakers I find they just muddy the sound or get lost in the mix.
