The Room:
Small rectangle 20 feet in length, 10 feet wide. I will be in "my chair" about 7-9 feet in front of the tele. I've got RC80I for the side and the rear, four total, that will be in the ceilling. I'm looking at either RTI8 and CSI5 or M60 and CS2 for the front. The difference between the two setups will be about $300. If anyone has had both, is it worth the three hundred. I can't find a store where I can listen to both. The source will be an Onkyo TXSR804.

Question #3.
Should I even be looking at these setups with the RC80I in the ceilling. I MUST have the side and rears in the ceilling.

Question #4.
While reading the specs on the speakers, I have become very confused with the wire setup. What is it and should I use the dual bi-amp setup. My friendly Best Buy guy said "you don't need that, just hook up the positive to the positive and the neg to the neg."

I know I should be looking at used but I have my wifes' blessing to make my dream theatre. If I buy used and get "someone elses problem" I will NEVER hear the end of it. New today, maybe a couple years upgrade w/ used and better. BTW, I was able to talk my way into a 65" Mitsubishi Diamond DLP. Anyone have experience with this unit. It looked incredible when I was viewing it.

Just sharing some emotion, I am sooo pumped up. I haven't had a real stereo since I left the military. I can't wait to get this put together. The framing is done. I just need the speaker wall mount connectors and then my drywall will go up and look out! Well then painting, then look out!
