It's the 20-39PCi, 40" tall with 12" woofer. Just $225 on Craigslist! I had to drive two hours to pick it up, but now it's mine, all mine..... just have to see the wife's reaction to it.

It's going with a set of Atlantic Technology System 270THX satellites (entire system except sub -- also have some extra System 250 speakers that I'm going to use as rear surrounds) powered by an Onkyo 705, mated to a Panasonic 42" plasma and sourced by my X360 and PS3.

No, I don't have all of this hooked up yet... just moved into our house about a month ago, and haven't had time to get all my gear hooked up. And I'm not sure how I'm going to get wiring to the surrounds; the attic is like 2 feet tall and covered with insulation. I may need to run some molding within the room. The room isn't ideal either: it's an L-shaped living+dining area with a cathedral ceiling and some gigantic floor-to-ceiling mirrors taking up both sides of the "L" corner. Oh well, I'm sure I can make do, even if the acoustics aren't the best :) I'll post photos sometime when I get it all set up... we've also got a baby due here in about a week, so it may be a while.

I picked up a Definitve SuperCube Reference off of craigslist the other day. I flipped it on ebay and doubled my money. The sub was much to massive for my 10x13 room.

My room is pretty big, like probably 20x14 in one direction with a 9x12 bit forming the "L". Unfortunately, the TV has to go roughly in the middle of the 20' wall.

I put in the Jurassic Park T-Rex scene as a demo. It rattled the pots in my kitchen :) (which BTW is the missing box that forms the "L" around it.) Now I'm watching Fight Club. More rattling pots, awesome! :)
