Yes I did get a better deal on the zu cables, they have auctions up on Ebay that usually go for a fraction of the cost of their site but it did cost me a pretty penny to get the additional feet needed

You can save some money if you always buy the 3 foot cables and use a cable stretcher to pull them to the length you really need.
We do it all the time at work. Take a 5' patch cable and run it through the ole cable stretcher. Baddda bing... a 200 foot run with connectors already installed for $5.99
Oh... And that is a mighty fine setup you have there retrace.

Thanks for all the compliamates of the setup, that was one other thing I forgot to mention is that I do have a 5 year old daughter, thou shes not rowdy in the least, there is that little bit of worry that something is going to get tossed at the speaker.
As far as the Q8's they sound great, but for placement thou, talking to axiom on the way they designed the speaker it is not suppose to be tilted at all but upright to get the full effect, as far as trying different placements, you guys do not even want to know the pain I had to go thru to get that thick A#$ wire to each speaker, for my own sanity were I have them parked is were there staying

I vote grills on. Just seems to blend your setup together more.

Grills on. I think that it's less refined without the grills on. Although, I have no problem showing off your system with the grills off.
Really looks great, BTW!

how do you like the Power Center (Monster Power Center HTS3500) I was thinking about buying one, but i don't have any "hiss" in my system right now, and was kind of wondering if I would benefit from having one at all... thanks..

How about getting the Gold grills. There is less contrast but the speakers will blend much better. I love the clean look of my maple speakers with tan grills. But some people prefer the high contrast look of the black on maple/ beech.

I'm surprised- does this really work?
Or is it like the old "board stretcher" my uncle got me with at the ranch?

As far as I know, the cable stretcher does fine double duty on boards. I beleive that they are one and the same.
I have the black grills on my Maple Axioms - the black /off white scheme works perfectly in my room.
