Thanks for the compliments folks! I just bought some cinderblocks to make the rears almost the same height as the surrounds. Makes no freakin' difference soundwise lol..but at least I'm not wondering whether I'm violating Dolby placement rules...

Yes, I am in Dallas (Greenville Avenue area)I'd love to show my pride and joy to fellow Axiomites...but the GF goes..."what? you're gonna bring total strangers here to see what?" - so there goes that idea - I don't wanna piss her off, she let me put these cinder blocks in the living room lol...
