A few weeks back I took some of the advice here and bought 2-170's and 2-340's. To compliment these I went for the advice of a couple that advised a HK to mellow the sound, was finding my old Cornwall's with a Yamaha receiver a little harsh. I chose the HK AVR 340 .... lots of power and very clean without the bite on the high end. Too bad Dave can't ship the HK to Canada, had to resort to a US seller on ebay .... seems unfair to Dave but his hands were tied. Like all other reports the service was great. That adjective doesn't really do him justice but I'll probably spell exemplary wrong.
For my center channel I utilized my old Energy center speaker and the sub is the HSU V2-MK2. This system is wonderful. I'll start another thread on the HK AVR 340 as I could use some tips on the surround modes.
Thanks guys, your recommendations on these purchases were spot on. Now if only the wife would quit telling me to turn it down, any suggestions here .... that are printable?
