I will definitely post on the 1.7s I know there is limited info out there right now, and what is available is being provided in from a demo in a controlled environment. I am looking forward to them for both music and HT, although I dont know what direction to go for my other speakers. I have been told to stick with planar all the way, but I physically do not have the space, so pairing up a center and surround speakers is going to be a challenge in itself.
