Hey all - first time posting after poking around for a while. I've settled on Ascends for my first-ever-HT and need some help deciding between 4x170s with a 340 center or 5x170s. I will be mainly movie watching and gaming and do not expect to be listening to much music on the system. The ascend site says 5x170s are good for music while the 4x170s/340C is a great home theater AND music set up. I was ready to go for the latter when I stirred up a hornet's nest on the AVS forums regarding 3x170s on the front stage vs. 2x170for L/R and a 340 for center.

(sorry if posting to another forum is frowned on)
My room is 11'x12' and given my likely use, what do people here recommend? And sorry in advance if this is a really dumb question, but is the 170 center different than a standard 170 laid on its side? The 340s are broken out on the site into center and mains, but the 170s aren't. Just confused.
Thanks in advance!

(Dave F, I sent an email to sales with the same question, just figured I'd post too in case anyone else had a similar question).
