Hi! I'm in Canada, too

Those are all nice products. Ya done good

What subwoofer(s) are you using?

How are your room acoustics? Any acoustic treatments?

And how far are you sitting from the TV? I'll bet a larger screen would suit you just fine

What are you using for power protection?

What's your remote?

Sources? Are you suffering from the lack of streaming services and CableCard up here in Canada like I am?

Any plans for an HTPC?

And how about cables and wires?

I love talking speakers, receivers and TVs as much as anyone. But there are so many additional components! And I love all those other pieces of a home theater just as much So it's always fun to really get the full picture of what folks are using.

Welcome!

I recently moved from a house to an apartment so I downsized my theater alot, previously I had a projector with an 100" screen along with two energy s10.3 subwoofers. In the apartment I couldn't fit the projector so I'm down ot the 50" plasma and the RC-70's give off enough bass without disturbing the neighbors so no subwoofers.

I don't have any room treatments at the moment because I don't have a dedicated theater room and I'm pretty happy with the sound considering the size of the room I'm in.

For power protection I am using a Belkin PF60.

I have a custom HTPC, this is my second build and I'm very happy with it, the performance and integration is excellent with my receiver. The video card I am using is an AMD Radeon 7770, I chose it based on performance/power consumption/noise levels.

No fancy remotes, I use the standard Denon/Samsung remotes and I have a Logitech K400 wireless keyboard for operating the HTPC from the couch.

I'm not a stickler for cables. My speakers are hooked up to generic 10 gauge copper speaker wire, mono price HDMI/toslink to connect sources, and monster interconnects i got on clearance for $2/pop to connect the receiver to the XPA-3.
