Well I'm glad I asked for some advice. Based on the negative responses so far, I'd have to say that I'm not going to bother with 'professional' help calibrating the receiver. In fact, if the amazing quote I got over the phone from General Audio here in Calgary was correct, then I'll be buying the receiver from them instead. I'm starting to get quite excited. In 3 days I can order my M2's, a short time later I'll pick up the receiver and an HD-DVD player. Then around Christmas it's time for real home theatre style seating for 4 and a 1080p projector. Unfortunately once I'm done spending, my wife gets to spend the same amount of money on stuff she wants.
