Took me abt a week to read through entire 183 page of this thread..finally. Learned quite a lot from all...thanks.

Max, My PC12NSD is already causing 'wars' at home already la with my HM and kids. Now Im trying hard to find a reason to take one room for HT.tough battle coz 4 + 1 room and only 3 left..1 is my study so left 1 upstairs or 1 downstairs (abt 11.5.' x 8' x 10' lwh)..too small I think for my svs and f2 + s2 combo and at 11.5' don't think make any sense to go PJ maybe get another 60" or 65" plasma. Btw, will my Klipsch F2 floor stand n PC be too huge for such small room ? I want to invest on acoustic treatment or absorbers if need to coz i think the room too small sure will reflect soundwave like crazy..hehe

Upstairs room or even upstairs family room with doors much bigger but will Be a challenge coz the vibration will reach master room at night so I'm in a dilemma now left with a small room / store downstairs.

Tough hobby...sigh.

Nice bed..but your right front speaker seems obstructed compared to left.

Speakers connector can always change..just +ve & -ve won't go wrong. I think more important is find out your speakers specification first (power handling, sensitivity and ohm resistance rating) before deciding an amp or avr.

And more details on your amp certainly would help the rest here to give their input to your question.
