Can you help or do I have to get divorced?

I'm a golf professional so I can relate to the golf-nut stuff and I'm only in the beginning stage of being an audio-nut. I will put speakers on stands if it comes down to it but I'm at least trying to compromise by going to smaller speakers. Can you imagine what my wife will be going through being married to a golf and audio-nut. She may divorce me.

Your last name wouldn't happen to be Tolles, would it?

No, I'm not a tour pro, I'm a club pro.

What a shame - I thought we had a celebrity in our midst. Tommy Tolles has such a nice game! (I'm sure you do too - I'm a double bogey guy myself). I wonder what TT listens to?

Seriously, after you've sorted out your fronts, try a pair of Mission 77ds for rears (white, of course). Wifes love these because they are triangular in shape and blend right into the ceiling when mounted in the corners. They are dipoles and produce amazing "I'm right there" surround effects for HT. You can pick up a new pair on Ebay or the dreaded Ubid for well under $200 which makes them a steal!

Did I say the Mission 77ds were dipole? Meant to say bipole! Tom(ay)to, Tom(ah)to... There is a pair up on Ebay right now (not mine) if you want to take a look - but you have to hear them for yourself. Very efficient speakers.
