    Components look good - any chance of a list?

    Not sure about the positioning, where the speakers are really isn't optimal - there both right against the wall and in quite tight corners. Generally I find they sound better with toe in as well.

    Looks pretty good to me. How is the 814 for multi-channel music? I find the prologic II processing on my Pioneer 912 to be a little weak at the rears...

    Toe-in is not necesary for a 5.1 setup. The centre channel provides the "dead-centre" information.

    That's assuming you don't use them for music much

    Looks nice. That centre should be more centred though. Unless that picture makes it look off-centre
