I have the quintet + ksw10 + h/k 225 set up and also live in an apartment. I've only had it for a week, but I can tell you that you will not be disappointed. I love it and am thankful my brother-in-law talked me into doing it. Also, received some nice advice/encouragement on this board from skonopa, among others. Our test dvd was attack of the clones (the big jedi arena fight) and I was completely amazed by the sound and the effect it had in my living room. My downstairs neighbors may hate me, but only for a few hours a week Anyway, hope this helps. cyclones22

Thanks for all the advice and comments, all. Felt a lot more confident making the purchase yesterday. Yes, I didn't spend that much. The quintets+ksw10 cost me $400 (in-law hooked me up . The H/K cost me $300 and I bought a nice dvd player for $300 as well. To think, a Bose 3-2-1 cost about the same. I can't wait for my quintets to come in so I can experience some quality sound. Again, thanks for all the help! cyclones22

Thank you for the advice! After doing some research, I'm going to get a Harmon Kardon AVR 225. Hopefully, that will be a good buy for the pricepoint. The DD5.1 will be returned. Thanks again. cyclones22

Thanks for the response. Would it just be wiser to return the dd-5.1 and buy a new HT receiver that has built in 100 watt amplification per channel? I noticed the specs for the quintet satellites were 100 watt max power. Those HT receivers seem to run anywhere from $200 on up. Btw, I live in an apartment so the quintet is about as big as I'm going to go until I buy a house. Thanks again, cyclones22

Hello all, I'm new to the forum and just purchased the quintets + ksw10. I also have a promedia dd 5.1 preamp. I'm new to this home theater thing, so my question is will that preamp be enough to power the quintet system? Do I need another receiver/amp to power it? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, cyclones22
