Gonk. Will be connecting my 5.1 system this week and very much looking forward to the results. I over researched everything and changed my mind several times but I have now purchased all the parts. Thanks again for all your help. I thought you might be curious as to what I ended up with:
Outlaw 1070
Oppo 971
Def Tech Mythos 6's for L/R
Def Tech Mythos 7 for center
Orb Audio Super 8 sub
Mirage ic6's for rear ceilings
Pioneer Elite 1140
