Hello all. I'm here to find answers without having to talk to the ''experts'' at Best Buy or other electronic stores. Setting up audio in my basement and I have no clue what I'm doing.

Hey Rick!

What part of upstate are you from?

I'm from Rensselaer (just across the mighty Hudson from Albany)!

A former gf of mine lives in Binghamton. And hopefully the cost of a Leon doesn't scare you...Just think..."If I spend the money, it will hang on the wall through my next 4 TV's..."

Maybe they aren't as expensive as I think.A seller on Ebay, who claims to be Leon authorized, has a HZ414 for $400 BIN and shipping(to me) of $33.

Binghamton is probably the reason she is a ''former''.

About that. If I do get one, then what? Still the speakers in the ceiling? And should I get a sub? I'm really stuck on having speakers in the ceiling.

Your surround speakers sure(the 4/5). (The Yamaha 575 has an "all channel stereo" mode)

Trust me...speakers in the ceiling do not work for the main channel of TV watching.

Having the sound emanate from the TV is preferred.

And to boot...

And sticking with one brand...

There are other LCR...Pinnacle QP, Def Tech Mythos, Atlantic Tech etc...

I was there with Sweethearts and Heroes. Anti-Bullying organization that I'm involved with. Kids reacted so awesome.
