We didn't know you offered these kinds of services... Is your cell the best number?!?

Ooops, forgot the #1 rule of posting on the internet: don't use the words "me" "throat" or "blow" in the same sentence...ever.

The floorstanders in the pic are Fluance. They are a Mfg from Canada and their speakers are very very cheap, however sound pretty good and are made very well. Now when I say they sound good please note that I am not one of those audiophiles that can hear the slightest distortion in a driver at reference level volume! So, to me they sound pretty good  . My system is a 7.1 system so I have 4 surrounds and a center channel which are Sapphire, the 2 floorstanders and a sub. Im not sure if Sapphire is around anymore, but these speakers are very nice and retailed back in the day for about $1500 for the set.

That sounds like a pretty nice system.  I haven't heard of Fluance, but I do recall comething about Sapphire.  I'm sure it sounds great.

I have Klipsch Synergy's  all around on my theater F-3 (Floorspeakers) , B-2 (rears) the 10" sub and then the flat panel center (can't remember the model) that's mounted on the wall.  I'll eventually get the reference center and move the flat panel speaker as a rear center.  Right now I have a Yamaha 6.1 receiver that doesn't do HDMI, so I'm looking at getting a Denon Receiver once I get money saved up for that

Huh? I've got a crummy 27" TV and it does have sound and a remote. Is mine something like yours? And, why is it we don't watch the races at either of your houses again? Remind me.

you wont regret a denon receiver 
sent you a pm since you are looking for a new receiver

I have a Yammy as well but it is 7.1 with no HDMI, but it does do component up-switching so I have all my sources connected to it and then to my projector via a single set of component cables. This all projected at a glorious 119 inch screen, this is the only way to play XBOX  . My receiver makes about 110watt per channel and my SVS has a dedicated 300watt BASH amp so it will get plenty loud 

The Synergy's are way nice! I was looking at Denon when I baught mine but got a pretty good deal on the Yamaha and Ive been pretty happy with it.

Like gaming on a PC, just got tired of having to buy new hardware to play the games that were coming out.

they're not that bad (says the guy with a new ATI 4850 and amd phenom cpu)...just crank detail levels a bit lower to keep the framerates up.  and plenty of console games suffer from graphic issues...hiccups and poor framerates and such.
