Only one of the fronts showed up today and the box was completely destroyed. Luckily the speaker seems to be in good shape.

Hooked up the center yesterday. It sounded pretty good but I seemingly had to crank up the volume too much to get to the right level. Double-checked the wiring and it was out of phase. Corrected that and wow it sounds awesome!

Thought I had found an RP-450C locally. They showed up with an RP-440C. Ended up getting it for $260.

Pulled the trigger on a pair of RP-280F's. They will be here Wednesday!

Now I am leaning towards starting with a pair of RF-82 II's for $258 each at Fry's. How bad would they clash with an RP-450C? Would it be better to go with the RC-62 II? I'm sitting 10' away.

I can get open box RP-280F's and an RP-450C for about $1,250. RF7 II's and an RC-64 II for around $2,000 used which would really push the space limitations. Decisions, decisions...

I'm pretty close to picking up a pair of RP-280F's and a RP-450C. I would then run them on a Onkyo TX-SR508 (80 watts x 7 into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD) until I can figure out what receiver I really need. I also plan on waiting for Fry's to run a sale on the subs.

Finally got the TV in.

Thanks for all the help and input. I will update once I eventually get things setup.

If I had to choose between putting the L+R's or subs in the corners would the subs be the best option?

It looks like I might need to get a lower profile stand or wall-mount the TV. (The stand is just a holdover from my previous setup.) This is as close to scale as possible of my front:

No I would put it on one side. Moving the stand out to have a flush look for the front stage. I only have 4' to work with on either side and the stand currently comes out 24" from the wall. I suppose I could shift the stand a foot to the left or right. Wish I had the TV to play with. Delivery was scheduled for today but got rescheduled for Saturday.

Now I am thinking the R-240S and then splurging for the R-115SW. I would have to put the fronts near the corners and maybe pull the TV stand out a few inches to fit the giant sub.

You're right. It is 8ft.
