Thanks for the caution Ajax. I am quite sure the speakers will be as I imagine. Don't tell the other posters, but I really put a lot more research into this purchase than reading their posts. Of course, the friendliness of this board is unrivaled.

I spent my undergrad years installing and funding car audio, which is even more "hype fueled" than home audio/video. Regardless of my speaker selection, I am already handsome, have sparkling white teeth, and am as witty and intelligent as they come. Just kidding, of course...Andy
