First post here and I can say I'm very glad I've found this site. About a month ago I started upgrading my 5yr old "home theater"
The fist piece was upgrading my 53" Panasonic RPCRT to a 56" Samsung 1080P DLP. After a month with the TV I absolutely love it.
The second piece was the receiver. Again 5yr old JVR RX-8000V receiver has been replaced with a Pioneer VSX-74TXvi. It's only been in place since Friday night, but so far so good.
The last piece is what brought me here...the speakers. After a 5yr HT hiatus I must say I was completely lost as to what was current/good in the speaker world. After demo'ing the Polks, CVs, Klipschs of the world I wasn't overly impressed. So after much research I decided to bite the bullet on the internet direct speakers.
I ordered 2 MT60s, a VP150, and 2 QS4s and they should arrive this wednesday. I'm hoping all the people on this board, avs, audioholics, etc are correct. I was hard pressed to find a bad review and with the 30 day in home trial I figured I couldn't go wrong.
Thanks to everyone on this board for helping me in my new speaker purchase.

I'm betting you will be more than happy with your purchase. Let us know what you think once you are setup.

I'm checking Fedex tracking every few hours
They are still in Canada as of the last check. Now the new subwoofer research begins...
