I did...Sony XA-777es player, Sunfire theatergrand, Krell amps, Apogee speakers....25'x 22'x 9' room.Sound was outstanding...not enough SACD's out at the time though...I jumped to early, (around 3 years ago).I do still have an SACD/DVD Audio surro...

Mounted the projector yesterday, did a ruff audio setup (HSU sub, and some of the wires aren't in yet).Good enough to enjoy a few movies, until the final tweaking... They are "MORE" than happy!Dave
