Direct Line Question
Just don't pull speaker line or video line through the same holes. 
Horn Speakers
Cornwalls blow away the heresys. Much bigger and more money...Have you considered electrostatics like Soundlabs? They may be out of your budget? 
Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?
I'm using 2 soliloquy sat-5's. I laid them on side with the tweeters in the center. It sounds amazing. I figured that I had the extra speaker, extra amp power and a 6 foot screen to fill. Remember that center gets the most work. 
Small Room. Go for it or forget about it?
Good reason to play with 3-7 watt amps. You won't need much power. My office is only 6 watts/ch, my one home system is 20 watts into 94db speakers. 
Please Help How would you grade an antique stereo?
You should be able to find them on ebay. Watch and see... 
Good sounding, small center speaker

childproofing rear speakers
My brother had the ultimate cure: He bought wall mount martin logans with metal grilles and in wall wiring. I'm still waiting for his kids to put pencils through the grill holes... 
Suggestions for small shelf sytem....
For $999 (retail, get the hint???) you can get the MH Trio from Spearit-sound. It'll work great with your Atoms and take up no space at all. 
Devotion to 2Ch/MC?
Sometimes 2 channel just sounds more "natural"? 
new DVD player priorities
Keep the dvd recorder in your PC. Much cheaper way to go and won't get in the way when you get the upgrade bug. I like a Tivo or Dishnetwork hard drive for recording tv. That should increase your choices & free up some budget.Also, does your t...
