My suggestion is that you should go with speakers that are highly efficient, very dynamic and have full range capability when doing an HT system. This makes things MUCH easier when it comes time to picking out compatible amplifiers and also increases the "intensity" of effects. I learned this the hard way as i have 86 - 87 dB mains, center and surrounds and i have to have a TON of power to get them to sing. While the Acoustat's might make excellent 2 channel speakers, i don't think that they are really suited for what you want to use them for. Sean
