Jim,
Thank you for the information. I went down and measured my room, which is currently in a state of deconstruction. I have certain constraints in this room, and I'd like your opinion on this. I believe the second row of seats will be about 8-10 feet behind the first row, depending on where the first row ends up. I can either approximately align these speakers with the first row (about 8-10 feet in front of the second row), or put them about three feet behind the first row (about 5-7 feet in front of the second row). Which position would be preferable? I will be using 7 speakers: two in front, one center, two on the sides, and two in the rear.
I think I've decided to get four of these, although it'll be a while before I finish the room and can save to have them built.
Also, if the wife balks at wood colored cabinets (which I don't think she will, but I'll ask anyway), do you have any tips for blending these into the walls? For instance, is there such a thing as a paintable front baffle or colored screening, which I could then put on the wall, too?
Thanks,
Bob
