Thanks Buck, I was happy to have bought the Opera's while they were still made out of hardwood. The current models are the usual MDF with veneer. Not that it makes the speakers sound any better (fiberboard is usually thought to be better for sound), I just enjoy looking at the craftsmanship
Sheep,
It's just a two channel, my brother acquired my HT (for a ridiculously low price) when I moved cities for a better job offer.
