    Man I have been wondering about those speakers form AV123 for a while, but in the end, they are still in boxes. Boxless sound is so natural and really the only thing that inhibits by desire from finding a pair of those arrays.

    Are you going to give phantom mode a try?

    If I had the $$ I'd pick up three JTR Triple 12LF with a growler for each of them. Get a single JTR Triple 8 and stick it in the back with the other three you already have for a full 7.1 set up with your Danley DTS-20. You won't ever have to go to the theaters again

    growlers take up quite a lot of space...

    the emerald physics cs2 will go 20Hz and the center channel triple 12LF will go down to 50Hz, it should be killer mid-bass from the LCR.

    just have to try it out...i think this combo should last a while....
