The horizontal centre 5000 is labelled DSP5000C, there's no such thing as a DSP5000HC.

I beg to differ. I have both DSP5000C and DSP5200HC. The DSP5200HC is a much more capable speaker. They use the same drivers, different DSP, different amplifiers, and the DSP5200HC has a bigger sturdier cabinet.

Lounge: DSP5200SL (L-R), DSW, 218, Michell Tecnodec, G98DH, tape deck.

Shed: DSP3100HC mains with twin analogue subs, 568, MS200. This sounds waay better than it should.

Storage: Way too much Meridian stuff, but I'm culling.
