The Complete System!!!

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!
The system is now complete! After going BACK to CC and listening once again to the 800 and 1000 towers, I made a decision. It was so clear once I went back.
The 1000s had to be mine!
Bass managment, allows me to feel pretty reasonable booms without the need of a sub (my criteria #1). This is also adjustable so late at night, I can kill the bass and spare my neighbors the headache! And in the future, if I get a larger place, a sub is not out of the question; I'll still have a true 'full range' set of towers to back it up! Plus upon listening at a different CC (I suspect the towers at the other CC were blown now) the 1000s kicked the **** out of the 800s sound wise.
Noting many insightful posts from luc, lax, and juice, I traded in my old 245i for the behemoth 400. This thing is damn big on my wall unit. And I'd say the range and clarity is 50% better than the 245. Plus, it fits the 1000s without a stitch. Great suggestion guys.
Also, based on suggestions by Lax (you're my hero now!) I purchased these new guys using my friend's Amex Blue! Soon, I'll have a $250 rebate check coming my way. This allowed me to pay internet prices, without the cost of shipping! That's $600 for the towers and $250 for the center. Rock on!
Then I moved my full range moniters to the surround position, and it was hear that I was most suprised; they sound amazing here.
Here's the complete list now:
Onkyo TX-DS595B
Polk RT1000i Towers (front)
Polk CS400i Center
JBL 4311B Control Moniters (surrounds)
Sony DVP-S570D DVD Player
Playstation 2 and Xbox (heh heh, DTS and DD games!)
Thanks again, to luc, lax, and juice for all the great recommendations. This system is complete.....for now
