Hi,

This is my second post since buying my 340 speakers (mains & center) from Ascend. They still continue to impress me... .BTW I think the best investment I have made thus far to enhance these speakers is XM radio---by far the best 12 bucks a month I have ever spent.

My question is does anyone on this forum have the 340's all around??I read a post somewhere mentioning that the Dolby labs people recommend 5 identical speakers for the optimum surround configuration. In my particular room right now (20ft by 15ft) I know it would be overkill--but I have yet to see anyone post that they have this particular 5.1 setup. I'll probably end up going with the 170's in the rear, but I figure it doesn't hurt to ask--after all on the 340 description page under system advisor it lists this setup as Top of the Line!!.
Anyway--I have to go pour through the CD collection again

Thanks for your input,

Kevin
