New Home Theater

I plan to install my new home theater today, "come hell our high water" (note: that last phrase should be said in your best WWII patriotic soldier American slang voice).  I bought the system this past Saturday to replace my Sony HDTV/DVD and Bose CD/receiver & speakers.  Call  it a x-mas present for moi!  All of the components were delivered yesterday.  The only reason why things are not yet setup yet is because I was waiting on professional installers to show up.  They left me hanging yesterday.  I am supposed to hear from them this AM.   I am not holding my breath.  To that end, I am diving in head first.

All in all, I am pretty happy with my purchases.  They are detailed as follows:

Note: This is the first system I have bought where I intentionally left out buying a CD player.  Almost all of my music played  to date has been via my Video iPod.  I figured I will continue seeing how that works out for me.
