FYI - Received a new 1070 last Friday. So far I think it's great! And everything I expected. I read every review and all the forums before I decided. I'm currently using it in 5.1 mode, and switching over to 7.1 in September. Thanks for the good forum and wealth of information.

Thanks for dropping in here, Tom. It's always good to hear from folks who are enjoying new toys.

Thanks Gonk!

I've had my 1070 packed away for over a month getting ready to move into a new house. Well, the time is almost here. What I'm looking forward to is trying out the speaker set-up I'll be using until I build a home theater in the basement. This is what I have, a 7.2 system with 7 speakers in the ceiling and 2 subs on the floor. The front 3 are Speakercraft AIM-8 three's, the rear 4 are AIM-7 two's, the subs are Energy's. I've been told and read comments that range from sounding very bad to sounding pretty good. I'm hoping it at least sounds decent, and by luck might sound very good. I'll let you know around the third week of September.
