Well, after friggin brokerage fees, having to buy a second $90 spool of wire, some setup, etc...got a 5.1 system set up. After it was wired and fired, I made sure that everything was working, and then plugged in the Mic to my receiver, and had it do it's room acoustic calibration. After that was done, I decided to try some DVD's in both Dolby Digital, and in DTS. I can say that the Marantz/Klipsch setup is certainly stunning when you use DTS. Some dolby soundtracks like King Kong were very detailed, with a lot of ambient jungle noise in the backgound, and also water and steerage noise from the scenes on the ship. The soundstage is huge now, and with some movies like the Gladiator DTS ES 6.1 DVD, the fight scenes are STUPID loud without distortion. Only thing now is, I think that my Sub is too small, or I need another one...it's not as noticeable as it used to be before the rear speakers.
Anyways, I'm done now...finally (well, besides using the 2nd pair of cabinets I bought, and getting wires and stands for them too).
