My dealer has 5200L/R, 5200HC, DSP3100 Surrounds. I think his setup blends his surrounds with the mains extremely well!

If I didn't have my DSP5k for surrounds I would probably opt for DSP3100 surrounds. I think they are a perfect surround match for my 5200. And so easy to mount on back wall.

As surrounds the DSP3100 will NEVER get stressed and thus works extremely well and offload their bass into the L/R.

Perhaps DSP3100LCR with 2xSW1600 can approach in mids and surpass 5200 in the bass department but I need to hear it to be convinced. Sub integration for music always needs lots of work and experimenting to be succesful!

The bass integration is absolutely key for music, much more than for movies, unless you are one sharp movie listener! I know that if I get the bass integration in music right, the movies follows and takes off as well, but hard to make the necessary calls just by listening to a movie.
