i just got off the phone with brent, and i have placed my order. one pair M60ti's, one pair QS8's, and one VP150 center channel.. all in a custom cabinet of Classic Oak, with burnt sienna screens.......................................................................................................................................breath.....ooooohhhhhhhhhhh..

its a done deal man.. expect shipment in 5-6 weeks, hyperventilate everyday til then..

i just wanna thank all ya'll for the fantastic input and advice. not only on the speakers, but on helping me get my ONKYO 701 receiver to push the damn things.. i have enjoyed, and will continue to enjoy, my time on this forum..

i probably wont be in here as much for a while, just so i can relax my brain til the speakers get here. i have been HT,HT,HT,HT,HT,HT for 3 months.. plus, the more time i spend in here and see all these great HT pics, the harder it will be to wait the 5-6 weeks.

i can say no more.. thanks again for all the help. i hope everyone has a great evening..

Awesome BigJohn! I'm sure you'll enjoy them, just don't forget to post pics!

Excellent news!! Plus, your wife is actively involved. Superb.

Dude...Knew you'd get around to it eventually...

You are gonna be pleased...and amazed.

Hopefully the custom finish guys will be good to you...

Yeha u gonna love em give us Pics when ya get them all set up !!!!!!!!!

Hey man -

I've had mine now (same as yours - different finish) for about a month and I still grin like a fool when I get home from work each day. Watched X-Men 2 last night in dts and it was the best surround experience so far. Waiting to watch LOTR on the set-up until I get the third extended edition - then it'll be a 12 hour movie marathon nestled in my new chamber of orgasmo audio.

You won't regret it, Bigjohn. Congrats. BTW - if you're low on paper towels, you may want to grab some the day you get the speakers set up so you don't drool Homerstyle all over the remotes...

thanks to all ya'll for the kind words.

i have noticed that this config of speakers seems to be most popular, so i reckon its got to be good. i am a little concerned that my space may be a little big(28x26x8), but i am sure the 60's will be fine. that comes to 5800cu ft of total air space, and the 60's are rated from 3000-6000.. so i am on the edge of their range. but in the end, the cost would have been toooo much for the 80's, and a 4ohm receiver to push them..

so now its the waiting game.. please lord, have mercy on me!!!

bigjohn

I'm sure the 60's will work well for you. In a space that huge you're going to want a really kick-butt sub though. (Heck, maybe even two!)

I wouldn't worry about the M60s in you room, Bigjohn. They can play extremely loud. If they aren't loud enough for you, go get yourself a Texas size amplifier to go with them.

Speaking of Texas. I heard a good joke at work the other day...

Q: Do you know why we have an oil shortage in the US?






A: Because all of our oil is in Texas, Oklahoma, and Alaska, and all of our dipsticks are in Washington DC.
