Anyone know of a store online that has TV stands that will accommodate the 6T6 in the middle shelf, ideally in the $200-$300 range?

His 42" Toshiba flatscreen LCD mounts just above the center 6T6 sitting on his top shelf and his equipment is below on the bottom shelf. It looks and sounds great. His 5T5 rears should be shipping in the next week or so (I hope!) and then we'll see about the sub...

I'd definitely go with the better speakers at first, even if you have to buy less of them.

Good luck!

BTW ... Nice looking setup. Which HK AVR?

And Its the AVR 247, sparklies and all but i had $300 in GC to Bestbuy this holiday season and i needed something that took Multi PCM over HDMI and since BB doesn't carry Onkyo its what i picked up.

1 x A6 - 6T6 - MTM Single
1 x A3 - 5TC - Bookshelf Pair
1 x A6 - 6T6 - Tower Pair
1 x A3 - 300 Subwoofer

Went with the bookshelfs for the rears because of size/space (wanted them on the wall). I must say I'm a bit nervous, I was pretty convinced on piecing together a Klipsch system but just read so many positive things about eD I decided to give them a go. I just need to figure out a reciever to buy, but for now I have an older Marantz SR580. Its under powered, but will have to work for now.

I keep checking their site, hopeful that they either came in early or that my order status has changed. So far at least the backorder date hasn't gotten pushed out. Typically if they send something on Tuesday I can have it by Friday, so I hope they ship on Tuesday.

I think the eD's are a great bargain and they probably do sound as great as many members state, but I had the extra money so I decided to put my bet on the monitor's. I will probably pick up a set of eD's for my upstairs living room one day.

They are set up LRC for now but will be RS C LS when the towers get here. I used them a little bit but I had to send a reciver back, a new one is coming but via super snail shaver shipping. It would be a shame if my new speakers got here and I had nothing to use them with. The 6t6s came like 1 day after I ordered them.

As for the sub, I don't think the MFW-15 is overkill at all, with or without those speakers. Why wouldn't you stick with eD and get something like the A3-300 or A5-350 instead? If you're using the package builder already, you're going to save 15% on the sub and it sounds great.

Even if I could somehow upgrade the amp and get the 15% it would be more than the MFW-15. From what i've read most people prefer the MFW-15 slighty over the A5-350. I wonder if I could call eD and have them edit the package to include the upgraded amp and just charge me the extra $$?

You don't have to be held by the confines of what we want you to buy. You can define how you want your system to sound by selecting all the components yourself. Select your system type and design your new home audio system. We'll even give you a hefty discount for building one with us!

While I think eDs probably compare directly with AV123 X series, I think the eDs are a better deal.

For $500 with free shipping they match up to the x-sls plus shipping. This makes the the 6T6 tower an awesome deal. The 6T6 tower is a 3 Way 4 driver tower compared with the x-sls which is a 2 Way 2 driver tower. And I think the 6T6 is MUCH better looking.

The next step up is the x-mtm which is a 3 driver setup. But it's $549 plus shipping, again making the eD a better deal.

Add a sub in, and go through the package builder and you've got a killer deal, in my opinion.

I think I might go with the A5-350 and eD speakers after all though. So you prefer the A5-350 over the MFW-15? I know you probably havn't heard both but from what you've read you wouldnt rather have an MFW-15?
