    You're most welcome. I know what you mean about other tech issues. I've had to lash myself or hold my tongue when hearing: . "How can I remove Google from my Android phone? What files do I delete? I don't want a 'heartbeat' going back to Google every minute of the day.... And [sic] I don't want...

    Just follow basic setup instructions, play some favorite music or movies, and you're fine. You don't need to know stuff you don't know in order to appreciate and enjoy your hi-fi. ;)

    Oh, duh. The ES-1 Towers. http://www.audioholics.com/tower-speaker-reviews/fluance-es1 The conclusion was a very bright high (which that monster AVR could tune out), and bass roll off at 150Hz, so you'd need a very good sub that could go up to 200, and probably set the bass mgmt cross over at...

    Well, the Audioholics review is worth listening to (even though it's THREE YEARS OLD ;) ;) ). That Ezvid channel is nothing but a bunch of "Top # of..." videos, derivative of other information that I didn't see corroborated (and they said the speaker had "integrated subwoofer" LMAO). I wouldn't...

    You're very welcome. Never heard of Fluance, which doesn't mean they aren't good. I wouldn't take a leap of faith based on a single review. In just a few minutes' searching on this and other forums, you can find if anyone corroborates that YouTube review. The names I'm familiar with, is...

    Glanced at the TX-NR838 manual, though it doesn't have Speaker A/B switching, you can use any input on Zone 2 that you can in Zone 1. So for all practical purposes, you could turn the volume off for Zone 1 (5.1 speaker setup) and play music on your older speakers connected to the Zone 2 connections.

    Oh btw, SVS offers free return shipping after trying out at home. But their speakers have been highly rated by reviewers, I imagine they don't get a lot returned.

    It's common for HT enthusiasts to have one set of speakers for movies, and another for stereo. That's why so many AVRs have speaker A/B capability. You'll get more impartial advice here than from a company trying to sell you product. If your budget will allow, look to SVS and Hsu Research for...

    Why are you focused on the Energy speakers? What's your budget for all 5 or 6 speakers plus sub? This older speakers seem great, if the AVR allows A/B speaker selection, perhaps you could use them for music, then switch to the 5.1 speaker set for movies.... BTW I WOULD NOT mount satellites...
