Well finaly got the stuff all in. Part of my agreement with my wife is we must keep the oak wall unit. Got the 3 sunfires in place.
1) 600 by 2 @ 8 ohms, 1200 by 2 @ 4ohms. 2 channel main amp
2) 400 by 5 @ 8 ohms, 800 by 5 @ 4 ohms 5 channel cinema grand amp
3) theater grand III 7.1 - 9.1 processor.

I am running my old sony in "zone 2" of the processor. It feeds bedroom, garage, office, and enclosed patio with a remote adcom switching speaker box. I want to go with fairly reasonably priced small speakers. Any ideas, the room are somewhat average sizes with the porch being 14x30, but this is more for basic listening "party" mode if you will. I like the fact that I can go with certain finishes ie. the office is cherry wood, the patio white like.

Nothing to do with your question, but does the monster power conditioners do anything, are they actually worth the money, do you think? I have been thinking about getting one, to smooth out the voltage for my projector, and to isolate a ground loop.. what are you impressions on the monster units, I notice you have 2, so you must like them.. what are the pros and cons to the units, and which would you recommend?
I have 1 (5 channel) amp, and projector the projector is what I would be most concerned with as far as power isolation goes.

Wow, nice system; good job!!

What small speaker to get? If you want to stick with Axiom, I have a pretty good recomendation:

The Axiom speaker that has more professional reviews and professional references in other speaker and electronic component reviews than all other Axiom speakers-Combined!

The speaker that one professional tester recomends using five or six of in an HT system-Another professional tester says "I Do"

The only "One size fits all" Axiom speaker!

The only small Axiom speaker that in an average sized room "Dosen't need a Subwoofer"!!

Not everyone buys it, but nobody dosen't like it!

The darling of the Axiom set; the speaker that put Axiom "on the map"!!

I would like at this time, to nominate...the venerable..the much loved and respected..The M3!!!

(Insert bells, whistles, horns and overwelming applause here)

I like em, I cannot for the life of me figure out how the m3 weighs less (by a pound) them the m2 with a larger box and a bigger driver. From everything I see the the m3 is a graet lil speaker

Wow! Nice setup. Sunfires driving 60s. Imagine those driving 4 ohm 80s.

Beleive me I have .The M80s would sound great with that much power put to them.That's kinda like having a nice sports car and keeping it at 55 mph.

Almost keeps you awake at night thinking of the possibilities. Here I am just trying to find 200 watts.
As a matter of fact it is tomorrow already.
