Hey stereo guys! How do movies sound?

[titzlaroo]

Coming out next is the Sierra-1 NrT which has an upgraded tweeter and new crossover. I'll be listening to those tomorrow and can let you know how they sound. DYI kit's to upgrade the existing speakers to NrT will be available next month.

yeah, let me know!

How about a look at aperion audio? They offer a 30-day in home trial for their products with free shipping both ways. They've got 4 models of bookshelf/satellite speakers as well:

Movies sound excellent on my 2.2 system - I can't care less for surround sound - my 2c.
For the same money you get better sound in a 2.1 than in a surround just because you can afford better quality buying less speakers (one case where less is more so to say)

So save up and get the surrounds. No stereo system is going to give you that immersive sound that surround channels provide. Besides, the surrounds don't have to be of the same calibre as your main speakers.
