My understanding about the Ventriloquist system is that it is a challenge to wire. Check with Hsu, but I think the signals go from the center channel to the front mains (and maybe even to the surrounds). That is, the thing's crossover network requires you to do some non-standard wiring.
And size DOES matter. If you can swing the Epic Midi instead, I think you'd be much happier in the long run. You would have a viable upgrade path, too (not that anybody in this hobby ever falls prey to such things).
