Speakers will be coming soon (supposed to ship tomorrow, I'll be watching my email), any recommendations for hiring an installer? I don't see myself running wires through the walls or mounting the surrounds since I have no experience, although I suppose it would be doable, given that there's an open attic above.
I just went through quickly so I don't know if it was mentioned but Axiom has an installation program Axiom You might want to call and ask about it...you spent lots of money so maybe they will negotiate the install?

Absolutely, any time, I would love to hear how your 600/800 combo sounds as well but I have to admit I am a little afraid to do that in case I just have to succumb to the inevitable and fire up two subs in my own system. I am still holding out hope that one 800 is going to be enough for our one couch listening area, especially since my wife is probably not going to want me to crank up the system much anyway, leaving only one seat that I will really need to tweak to perfection, I will most likely be the only one who cares among the three of us.
Family comes first of course, so we went to the King Tut exhibit today and came back 5 hours later, and lo and behold Fedex shows up right on cue with all 6 boxes (four QS8s, a VP150, and a full metal ceiling bracket for the right surround). Unbelievable! I was certain the torture was destined to continue.
Guess there will be some setup duties in my immediate future . . .

Well I have my fingers crossed about that because we live in an older neighborhood where they actually left some space between houses, we have a corner lot, and the living room is closer to the side street than to our nearest neighbor on the other side.
When I had the XPA2 cranking up music 90-100 decibels I went outside and walked around and it wasn't that extreme--I suspect that people inside their homes may not have necessarily noticed.
Time will tell!

I haven't had any complaints yet. I mean, you can hear my system outside when I'm blasting it, but yeah, I imagine people aren't actually hearing it in their homes.

Way to go, FedEx. Congratulations on your delivery. Yes I like to give credit where credit is due. I could tell some war stories of course about Fedex but lately they've been taking very good care of me. I love it when my expectations are exceeded.

Time will tell! I have found only the bass makes it out of my house when the doors and windows are all closed. No complaints from my neighbors yet, but that is just the M80s, I have the PB13 in the basement.

Wouldn't that be a great trip for Axiom. I'd come home wanting an A1400-8 and you'd want another EP800. Maybe we both better wait awhile for the next get-together.
