Home Theatre Question
Actually it is more of a demerit to have all of your speakers in the ceiling. If it is a HT room..the speakers should be in/or on the front, side and rear walls to give a true surround sound effect.Putting all seven speakers in the ceiling is just...

Yes you are correct....I'm roughly 80 miles southwest of Morrow..the Columbus,Georgia area. Bummer about the Auzen..I have my heart set on the Asus..so I'll patiently wait. ;-)

LCD TV - Are they reliable ?
Trust me Soix if you used your display for other than watching television. As a PC monitor or game display...you'd quickly realize why some use LCD. You'd have image retention all over the screen. Don't get me wrong ..I still love my plasma, but t... 
One Fathom 113 or Two SVS PC-Ultra Subwoofers
Since you don't have a clue to your room size it is a tough call. Just one SVS properly setup can have heart pounding bass!! These subs aren't for the faint of heart. As mentioned above the Paradigm 15's are nothing to sneeze at either. No comment...
