that's nice bghd...
that's a salamander synergy triple stand, right? if so, how do you like it? was it difficult to assemble?
i'm hunting a new stand right now, and i'm trying to decide between the salamander and the studiotech ultra. it's hard to find a closed cabinet design that is deep enough to actually be functional.

Dave and Brian, Thanks for building such great products!. I still have a couple of things to work on (and aquire) to complete my "HT". But I am loving the picture and sound. Below are some pictures of my setup.
You will notice that my CMT 340s are wall mounted. I need a steeper angle on both the sides (currently around 14 degrees, need to make it 22) and the back (currently 14 degrees, need 20). I am designing\builidng supports which will sit on the mall mounts and increase the angle.
I also need a better DVD player. Probably I'll wait a bit cause I want to make sure I can play DVD Audio and SACD as well.
Loving all the clearness,
stevec

how's those rear surrounds working out at such a placement?
By placement are you referring to the height, depth behind the listener, or space between (THX recommended)? As I posted they still need to be angled down more. The sound focus is above the listener by about a foot or so. Once I get the angles right, I will then retune the system.
Of course if you look at my room situation, it very much sonically challenged. That is why I went for the CMT as surrounds, I wanted something that I could get a fuller sound from given that I have a lot of "space" (behind the listener) to deal with.
mostly referring to distance and the akwardness of the room behind the couch (does sound get 'trapped' in the kitchen a bit?). I had a room very similar and the surrounds were such a pain to figure out, haha. have you thought about just using tall stands behind the couch, or even hanging them down from the ceiling?
kudos on the system though, looks killer!
