Well, my thing is that I built my current speakers, so it'd be a pain to just build one. I'll probably just get the parts for two, since the 1050 can take the 4 ohm load of two in parallel (a major selling point since my L/C/R's are 4 ohm to begin with).

Thanks all. Since it seems that there are at least a few of you arranged that way (speaker above couch), I'll give it a shot. If I really don't like it, so be it; I'll have nice speakers for my PC.
