I have almost made my mind up about replacing my old Sony speakers. I have a few questions if everyone can bare with me, LOL. To give you an idea of the room layout, My room is 13x22x9 and it has a 14' opening to one side and a 5' opening in the back corner.

1. I am looking at going with the 170se for the L/R and getting the 340se for the center and keeping my sony bipoles for surrounds <--(wife approved). Do you think this would sound good? I know matching the speakers will sound best, but my wife doesn't like the idea of a 12" high speaker hainging off the wall.

2. I am placing these bookshelfs in a entertainment center, will I have a problem with the ports making noise or cause them to sound funny?
