I am using the bw804's for front & rear left/rights, and the HTM1 for center. Up to now, the only thing I've heard yet that tops it accoustically are 2 bw800, one HTM1 and 2 bw801 (as surrounds) powered by Omega monoblocks!!! If you have lack of space go for the 805 surrounds - else try to get the 804's allround - much fuller sound than the 805's.

As for my room, well its around 10m(L) by 5m(W) by 2m (H) with rough walls and ceiling. The only absorbing matterial in the room is a small carpet covering the space between the three main speakers and the couch. And when I listen to music, I like pop/rock etc a little on the loud side (still live alone [Linked Image from softronix.com] and have no neighbours close by [Linked Image from softronix.com]

Anyway, I did the speaker conf again, and this time I calibrated to 80db instead of the recommended 75, and did the MRC again also. Now I get acceptable volumes around 70-75, and the amp after four hours seems ok. I just have to fing the proper equilibrium (till I get another G55...). If anyone else is using a similar setup with a G55, can you tell me how you set your speakers? What is this 75db calibration doing exactly?
