Looks good to me, I like the design. Would look good as well as sound good. ;)

Looks deceint, see if its anywhere else for less before you buy it tho.

Unless of course, you are hooking this up to a HDTV, then you sould really be looking for a system with component video out/input and progressive scan.

Do yourself a favor and really think about where you are going to place the speakers, the 'sweet spot' in a room can make all the differance in the world!.

If I had one, I'd wire all the little speakers to the corner of the room and a big one near the TV. That'd work.

Not all rooms are square Tony, but what you mentioned is my basic starting point, then I work from there with mirrors to see where the speaker will sound best from where eveyone will be sitting.

For example the sub on my 5.1 system is in the most right part of the room it sits in. But its in a cubby hole so it has walls on three sides of the box, and it sounds alot better then when I had it in the center of the room.

I'll have to mess around with the placements once I get one. The room I'll have it in is very big so I'll need it to cover the whole room. Also the roof is high, so the top corner might not be the best place to put a small speaker.
