Well....I pulled the trigger...dropped the hammer...whatever I tried out the 533-PTs for a month but while they are very nice speakers I just couldn't get the HT rumble I wanted and there appears to be a slight dropoff at about 100hz that I noticed on some of the music I like.  Overall, I'd rate this pair as a 9 on the music ...

I read Ben's recent post, ''Organic Evangelism?'' and something struck me.  Everyone raves about their speakers but we all do it here in the forum.  I just received my 5.1 system consisting of the 533's, 533 vac, 534's and the s-10, granted I haven't set them up yet due to a shipping error,  but that is swiftly being taken care ...
