Hi! I have an HT3 in 2 different HT systems, and they sound absolutely awesome. Since most of your information is covered in the front 3 channels, that is where the Odyssey will do the most for you. Then you could use about any reasonble amp or mono's like the Marantz M500's for the rear channels. Give Klaus a call he can certainly help you make any final decisions (317)299-5578.
