Well my first pair i bought for myself in my 2 channel system. Then when my parents built a new house with dedicated theater room we ordered a 7.1 epic 80 system with everything being boston cherry finish (like my old 80's) and instead of the new pair of 80's being the same old finish i decided to get the HG cherry when it was offered for free. Now the HG cherry v2's are in my 2 channel system and everything else is in the theater, which i also get to use quite alot

The best of both worlds A great 2 channel system for myself. And the use of a great 7.1 theater.
