I have just installed the last of my speaker system and am extremely pleased with the system as a whole.  Because of spousal considerations I had to make some (to me) compromises (installing the side L and R side and the rear L and R speakers in the ceiling).  Aside from the esthetics (my wife would prefer not to see the speakers in the ...
