Thanks for the reply, gentlemen. Further information about the room geometry follows: * The south living room wall is 18 feet apart. The Heresy III L/R speakers are 15 feet apart. * The television is centered between the speakers. * We would listen to the L/R speakers from a couch that is in front of the television. * Our ears would be 10 feet in front of the south living room wall’s center. To accommodate both home theater quality, and Hi Fi stereo music (radio, SACD recordings, etc), please provide advice on the following questions: 1. What would be a good Klipsch woofer (or is it called subwoofer) to use with Heresy III’s as the L/R speakers? 2. With the L/R Heresy speakers being 15 feet apart, and with the listeners being 10 feet in front of the television, is there a significant improvement in using a center speaker, and would the best addition to the L/R Heresy III speakers be a Center Heresy III speaker? 3. If I used three speakers in a 3.1 system configuration for the television, and when I switch from home theater to stereo music, does stereo music go through the center speaker? 4. If I had a 3.1 system, and while listening to stereo music, would the quality of the left/right stereo sound be compromised by piping some of the (radio or SACD) music through the Left & Center & Right speakers? It seems there would be less distinction between the left and right channels … if music was coming through a third center channel. Thanks, Steve PS: If recommending I use a 3.1 sound system, please keep this in mind when recommending a Klipsch woofer (or is it called subwoofer).

Hello. Considering Klipsch sound for my television, located on the south wall of our living room. The lving room blends into the kitchen. There is no wall between living room and kitchen, so these two areas are essentially one large room. It is not practical to have surround sound for my television. Plus, the reason behind considering Klipsch speakers for our television, is to also use fhe speakers for music only (stereo). So ... all sound will be coming from one row of speakers on the south wall of the living room. For now, let me propose Heresy III speakers for the left/right positions of the south living room wall. I am confused on the terminology between 2.0, 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1 sound systems. I don't want the system to be too complicated, but I do want the ability to have home theater sound, and with a flip of a switch, to have stereo sound. With my L/R Heresy III speakers, what would be good recommendations in regards to additional Klipsch speakers, to improve the home theater sound, and also improve the stereo sound? Would it suffice to just add a woofer, and would this be creating a 2.1 sound system? What would be a good Klipsch woofer, for L/R Heresy III speakers, to improve the home theater sound and also the stereo sound? Along with the above questions, are there recommended websites, where I can get information about the differing Home Theater sound systems, such as 2.1, 3.0, and 3.1? Thanks

Hello. Stoking some thoughts about setting up a minimum of left/right speakers for our 52" HDTV. If I do, the left speaker will be beside a floor-to-ceiling plate glass wall that faces the east, and will get direct sunlight all morning. How much of an issue is it, to have the wood chassis speakers such as Heresy III and Cornwall, in direct morning sunlight, every morning of the year? Is there recommended maintainence to repair the wood from recurring direct sunlight, or is it common to just protect the wood by draping a cloth over the speaker chassis? Another possible issue, but perhaps not. In the Michigan winters, the plate glass would be icy to the touch, but doesn't realy convect cold air into the living room where the speaker would be. Comments about this Michigan issue welcomed. Thanks
