Thanks for the suggestions.

In answer to the previous notes, my listening room is about 20 X 16 feet, and I will want to be able to listen to and watch both live TV, DVD discs (opera performances are one of my favorites) and 5.1 movies.

For the time being, I plan to go with two systems. - Using my 3.6s driven by my Rotel amp, and a Velodyne woofer for watching music DVD's (opera, etc) and using a pair of Advents and a pair of Infinity speakers, with Infinity mid speaker, driven by an Onkyo TX-DS676 reciever, with the woofer, for 5.1 surround sound. I find that the Maggies are great for music, but maybe not the greatest for 5.1 surround sound movies, etc.

I'm still experimenting, and there are several possibilities.
