Thanks for your input. Between other projects, I finally got everything setup on Sunday evening.
I'm still doing some tweeking on the sound levels. The VSX-81TXV has the MCAAC (Advanced Multi-Channel AcoustiC Calibration System), but I feel it set the subwoofer and rear speakers to low. Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated.
Yes, this is my first time using Klipsch, but I really like the clear sound when compared to the def techs. I really like the way it looks in my house. I was a little concerned size would be an issue, but they fit and look great!
