Welcome to the saloon. Some of us desperadoes are a little trigger happy. I think you will be very impressed by what you have assembled compare to what you had before. Bigger picture and more power along with better channel separation and bigger bass is really going to be a big improvement. The wife will be impressed and to get her in the right frame start off with a great chick flick with some great music and big bass. Last of the Mohicans will be perfect. Good luck and let us know how it sounds. We have all been strung up for the same reason in the past.
