First off, happy birthday and thanks for the replies!

Nice custom mounts for the speakers! I'm not too handy...yet I think I could accomplish something similiar. Does anyone remember the omnimount model number? I'm lazy and would love to just buy one mount as the other one could be mounted to the wall.

I was thinking about getting the omnimount for the center channel speaker to sit on my Sony television was well.

Too bad my basement was already finished. I'm stuck with trying to fish the wires through holes in the ceiling somehow. I currently have white wire running throughout my house sorta-buried under the baseboards. Lame, I know...but I haven't come up with a strategy to run the wires through the ceiling yet. Thoughts? The only holes in the ceiling currently to fish wire through are the lights.
