Hello everyone,
Just thought I'd introduce myself. After months of lurking and reading just about every thread on here I finally placed my order today. :D
I ordered CMT-340 LCR's and 2 pair of HTM-200's for surround duty. I've got a Pioneer Elite VSX-54TX to drive them and I'll be picking up either an STF-2 or a VTF-2 HSU sub. I haven’t ruled out the VTF-3 yet but with the HO imminent I’m thinking I should get the STF-2 for now and pick up the HO when it comes out and move the STF to the living room. I live, according to yahoo maps, 2.5 minutes from HSU in Anaheim so I hope to audition these subs next week sometime. I still have to give HSU a call to set that up. I haven't decided on a DVD player, still have to do some more research.
I originally wanted to order a pair of CMT-340's to audition then either return them or order the rest of the system but then I read that the CMT's and CBM's were on back order so I figured I should jut place my order now, audition the HTM's while I wait the 2+ weeks for the CMT's to come in and once I get the CMT's make my final decision. I was a little disappointed to find out the CMT's were on back order but I'm already waiting on the Panasonic AE900U to hit the streets in a few weeks so I guess it's not that big of a deal. The speakers are going into a dedicated room I'm putting together that will almost exclusively be used for movies at first but I do own around 25 DVD-A's so we'll see how the usage ratio ends up once everything is set up.
I’d like to thank everyone on here for answering all my questions before I knew enough to know what to ask. Does that make sense? Between here and the AVSforum I’ve learned a lot in the resent months and am truly appreciative of those in the know whom share their knowledge freely.
I also have to thank James at Ascend for offering me free shipping on the HTM's to save me the trip down to Gardena.
