I will certainly let everyone know how the set up sounds, and perhaps ask for more help!! I do have a question concerning 7.1 surround. My old speakers are not bad, just not meeting my demands anymore. They were an Energy Take 5 system (4 sats, 1 center, and 10" sub). Is there any point to using two of the satellites (or the center) for rear surrounds to achieve 7.1 with the new receiver and klipsch speakers? If I were to spring for klipsch rear surrounds, should they be the same as the other surrounds? Thanks again - I can't wait for the weekend to get this stuff together!

oops... sorry - receiver is a Denon 2807, not 2307.

Thanks everyone, for the input. Here is what I ended up, and just a few more questions... RC52 RF62 RS42 RW12D Denon 2307 Questions: 1. Magnolia did not carry the RF52 so I went with the 62. Did I end up "out of balance" by not bumping up the Center and surrounds as well? 2. I had decided on the pioneer elite 84TSX, but had also seen several other forums discussing an LFE problem with them. The salesperson convinced me the Denon 2307 would do just fine. What are opinions on that with the Klipsch? Also, I came up with a solution for the surrounds at the side. One will have to sit on TOP of a cabinet (at about 6' 4") with a pretty good cable run (~40'). I will try this out first and see how it sounds. They did not have everything in stock so will pick later this week and set up next weekend. Thanks again - Your input is much appreciated.

Thanks for the quick reply. I can see where getting them built would work out... I HATE to wait though, so would rather just buy something pre-made, but it is a better idea than downgrading the speakers just because of stands. Do you have any opinions on the config mentioned based on the room size? I am also unsure if the 10" sub will be sufficient. I don't need earth-shattering, but do want it to complete the sound field and effects for action/sci-fi. Thanks again, RJ

Hi there, I am new to this forum - hope I am posting in the right place. I have been reading lots of reviews and forums the last week and am considering the following for a new speaker system (upgrading my system): RC52 RS42 RB61 RW10 These would be powered by a Pioneer 81TXS, mostly for HT, some music. My problem is the room and mounting/placement options. For the surrounds, I have no option of side placement. I want to place them behind (and slightly to the side of) the listening area on stands - but am having a heck of a time finding any stand that will fit the need, mostly due to height, weight, or security constraints (no brackets to fit, etc). If I cannot find stands, I might be persuaded to wall mount, but I doubt it. To wall mount they would be about 5 feet behind the listening area, 1.5 to 2 feet above the listener, only 3 feet apart, AND directly above a 120 G aquarium. Not really where I want to hang anything! So, my main questions are: 1. Can anyone provide any information on stands that would work for the RS42 and how one would go about mounting these on one? 2. Would the wall mount option mentioned above degrade sound quality due to the placement of the speakers relative to the listener? 3. Lastly, the room is 19 x 14 (although listening area is about 12 x 12) with several open spaces to other rooms. I know many think MORE IS BETTER when it comes to sound - but what are your thoughts on the config mentioned above for this size area. I really hope I can find some stands. I hate to change my speaker decision just based on the placement factor. PS: am planning to buy/order this weekend. Thanks all, RJ
