Best Speakers EVER

5 weeks ago, my receiver lost it's magic smoke (heard that from another member :smile:).

Took it in for warranty repair and in the mean time (another member offered his spare to me, thanks again), been running straight HDMI from bluray player to plasma and sub into bluray player. NOT the best of set ups but oh well.

Just got my receiver back on Thursday and did a quick trial run to just to see.

Friday, rearranged a couple of speakers for a newly configured 7.1 and today, started out with Tron Legacy just to make a statement, and have been going strong ever since, can't believe it's so late :biggrin:.

Just taking a short breather to drop this note and going right back into it. I may not sleep tonight, well, maybe when my wife finally caves my skull with the skillet :biggrin:

Pictures of new set up to follow soon.

    I don't get what speakers you're talking about...

    The speakers I'm talking about are only the ones in my signiture, but, when that's all you're used to and you go without for 5 weeks with nothing but your plasmas twin 10watt speakers, it's like being in heaven, or close to it :smile:

    Did Tron, Beverly Hills Cop, Transformers, 12 Rounds, and then finished off with The 10 Commandments. What a Day.
