Thanks for the feedback.

I think that a centre is high up on the shopping list, I have tried before but can't get other brands of speakers to work with the Shahinians, and Shahinian don't make a centre, so splittinmg a pair of Obelisks looks like a good bet. Just a little concerned how 3 omnidirectional speakers up front will sound!?

I have just read the past 5 years of posts regarding balanced outpouts in non-DSP system and thay looks a good way to go.

However I still have this would 12K spend on DSP speakers (my budget and sale prices) reap more rewards. I could get a pair of 7000's a 5500HC or 5200HC and a pair of 5200's all s/h or ex-demo and still have change!

Really not sure about the HD621, as the amount of BD spinning we do is fairly small.
