Thanks for all the info. I've been also talking a bit over in AVS forums, and getting some ideas. The room I'm currently in is about 15x30 with 9 foot ceilings, hanging grid, in the basement. I may be moving in the next year too, into an apartment, so my room will not be huge. Some told me that the RF-52's and RF-62's will be hard to distinguish with room sizes like that. Depending on if I get discounts, I was thinking I might splurge on the whole set of 52's, to keep the price modest, along with either an Onkyo 608 or Denon 1911 receiver. I didn't think about the amps, but that can probably wait. The subwoofer can always come later too. I just don't want major compromises getting 52's instead of 62's, but I'm coming from virtually nothing as far as a home theater setup (except my Event Studio Precision 8 mixer monitors, $1200 a pair), but NOT home theater. I'm kind of at a fork in the road on many things. I feel the 52's will still probably blow my mind. I just want the experience of feeling the soundwaves push back my hair watching an action movie.

Hello, this is my first post. I wanted to get the opinions of people regarding my plan of building my first home theater. I currently have my 2 Event Studio Precision 8 mixing monitors as my 2.0 speaker setup on my HDTV. They sound amazing for what they are, but I definitely want to get a proper home theater, and get the SP8's back to my computer rig for audio work. My plan was to start off buying a good receiver, like an Onkyo HT-RC260, and getting a pair of RF-62 II's. There would be no subwoofer yet, but I believe my current speakers frequency response of 35hz-20khz, and still sounded great, and the RF's go down to 35hz as well. Of course, I can build and piece the rest together over the next year or two, but wanted to start somewhere solid. (12AWG Cable for everything too) Does this sound like a good plan? Can I still have great music, games, and movie experiences just on this 2.0 setup for awhile?
