Yeah, I definitely don't have a "box setup". I don't have any satellite speakers either. I have Samsung 62" DLP tv, Sony 8.1 1000watt av receiver, 2 Sony Floor speakers that have 8" Subs, separate 10" powered sub, and 2 6" bookshelves for the sides, 2 6" rear-channel speakers, plus front center channel speaker. Not currently using the rear center-channel, as there really isn't any 8.1 channel movies out. I could drop it down to 6.1 and use the second channel (2.0) for powering sound into another room, but don't have a desire to.
Cool setup.
It's just outside of a/v sites it's generally scary what people will try to pass off as a measure of quality to determine differences.
Right now I'm on a Paradigm setup with Monitor 7 setup in a 5.1 with a Onkyo 705 and a Pioneer 6020 (swappping for a Pro151 for better calibration options) Kuro plasma. I'm searching hard to upgrade the audio with a new 5.1 setup but when I do it'll be with seperates (pre/pro and amp), so it's a big commitment but it'll be worth it.
