Ok, I had to recalculate the room size due to the SHEDEVIL and her laundery room... Actually its my fault but we will pretend its hers the room soze is only 11 x 15.5... Ok question number one... Will the 950 do everything that a, say High end Denon would do in regards to surround sound.. 2. Should i go with the 1st considered 7.1 config. ? And you say the SQ8 is no good for what I need? Sorry for all the questions but I really wanna do this right.. Cause sooner or later my wife is gonna relize I ain't worth it Thanks again Z
