    Yes cute she is (what is this Yoda day?)

    When my twins were babies I had a nanny with a 14 month old son who would mess with me speakers sitting on the built-ins almost every day. So I decided to go with all in-ceiling except for the center and sub. I have to say that for movies and tv its very enjoyable especially considering the modest price and high WAF/bosses (in my case) factor. So I might suggest keeping one sub and going with in-wall/ceiling.

    GLWS!

    The little just took over the family room didn't she? Makes me think of all the stuff mine used to put into the DVD and VCR.

    Hmm... the in-ceiling idea is quite welcome since I've been having to endure the built-in TV speakers icon8.png

    @WLDock: tell me about it, bro! She took my remote and stuffed it in the laundry basket. Took me a couple days to find it!!!

    Dude if I had the coin you are going to get for those speakers, I would get three of these for the mains: http://www.polkaudio.com/products/265ls and then stick in a couple of these in the ceiling for surrounds: http://www.polkaudio.com/products/700ls and like I said keep a sub. That would be a GREAT stealth system and probably wouldn't be too shabby for casual music as well...

    And I have to say that I have been pretty darn lucky overall with my 3 kiddos (one more one the way hopefully my luck continues knock on wood). The only thing that they have done is push the tweeter in on my cs400i that has no grill (i got it for cheap and the grill was trashed). I have small towers in the master and they just like to put their little ears up to each speaker to hear the music, so I have to be careful with the volume knob. But they don't touch anything else and I have never taught them that...

    Anyway, I would love those towers but no can do so GLWS!
