Thank you all, Tom, 2pecker, everyone, for your help. I'm going to get up into the attic to wire the speakers and drop the wires through the ceiling, mount the brackets and speakers this Thursday. I'll report back. Really looking forward to hearing the music!

BTW, I agree, multichannel TV is just fine. I've been listening in synthesized 7 channel for a while now, and me likey!

Enjoy the Music. Trust your ears. Laugh at Folks Who Claim to Know it All.
