If I cannot find a mount to conceal the wires, I will use the item you suggeseted to bring the wires through the sheetrock Dave. Thanks for the help. Chad

I have placed an order for an Ascend 5.1 speaker setup. I'm going to be using the HTM-200's for surrounds which weigh 8 lbs. I was planning on using the Omnimount 20.0 wall mount. How do you get the speaker wire to the speaker? As far as I can tell, there is no way to conceal the speaker wire...

I assume the RX-V659 will have enough power for the speakers I've choosen? Thanks. Chad

I think I'm going to go with the Yamaha RX-V659. I can get this shipped for around $350 with no warranty or $400 with a 3 yr warranty. For my setup, I cannot find another receiver that offers auto-setup features (YPAO for the 659) and 2 zone capabilities (with pre-outs) so I can send zone 2...

My room is about 5000 sq feet. I need a big sub. Chad

I'm going with the Ascends. Going to place the order tonight or tomorrow. They are backordered however. Will probably get them at the end of Sept. Going with: CMT-340 x 3 HMT-200 x 2 for surrounds (talked to Ascend about this. They thought it was appropriate if doing primarily HT...

I'm a newbie. I'm building my 1st HT setup. Have a $500 budget for a receiver. Through the help of the forum I will be purchasing the following 5.1 speaker setup: Ascend Acoustics Center: CMT-340 L/R: CMT-340 x 2 Surrounds: HTM-200 x 2 Sub: SVS PB-12 I will use the system for about...

I am certainly a novice to this process. Over the past week, I've done extensive research online. And from all I've read, I really like the things that have been said about the Ascend series. I know that it would be ideal to hear them first, but this will not be possible. So, I guess at this...

Seth. Thanks for the advice. Just checked. The SVS PB-12 is actually cheaper ($660) shipped. I thought the HSU would be cheaper in the Ascend package deal, but it is actually more ($740). Chad

Unless something major happens, I've made a decision regarding speakers. I found multiple posts on the Ascend series and decided to find out all the info I could on them. The Ascends (3 CMT-340 SE, 2 CBM-170 surrounds , and VTF-3 MK2 sub) and Axioms (2 M22, VP 150, and 2 QS4)/ SVS PB12 sub are...

By the suggestion of others, I think I am going to look at other receivers in the $500 to $600 price range. While this will ultimately yield a better receiver, I will loose the LAN port on the receiver. With that said, what is the best way to get MP3 files from my computer to the receiver. It...

Also: I can find the RX-N600 online for around $450 shipped. I like it for the ease of connection to my home computer for MP3 access. However, since this can be achieved via other means, what is the best receiver out there for around $500? Thanks for the input. Chad

I'm planning on building my first home theater system. I will probably significantly upgrade in 2-3 years, so I don't want to go overboard at this point. I have about $2500 to spend and was thinking of spending roughly $1900 to $2000 on the speakers. I'm planning on purchasing the Yamaha RX-N600...

I'm looking to build my first home theater system. I recently saw the new Yamaha RX-N600 network receiver at a local audio shop. This would probably suit my needs and is attractive for me as it has a network connection. Although the system I build will be primarily used for movies, I would like...

Wayne. Thank you for your extensive reply. I have more questions for your or someone else. Just to clarify: Our home is pre-wired for a multi-room home audio system. We have a main level and a basement. Wall-plates on both the main floor and basement contain CAT-5 wiring. Each room with CAT-5...

This is my first post. Thanks in advance for the help. If this post would be better posted in a different forum, please let me know. We just purchased a new home in a relatively small town (35K people). This is important because my choices for audio purchases may be limited locally, but...
