Thanks, bigblue. I'm strictly a listening-to-speakers guy, so headphones aren't even a remote consideration at this point. I'm fortunate in having a spouse who doesn't mind if music streams out of the open-door bedroom--not infrequently at high levels--while she's elsewhere in the house, even when she's watching TV in the living room. (Sorry, guys, she doesn't have any sisters.)

As for "end of the line", I'm virtually there. A 2'x4' Monster is due here on Thursday and will replace the 1'x4' pair at front-wall center. I'll park one of those "skinny" Monsters at the door so I can send the loaner home to the living room.

The last trapping option I want to try is turning the second skinny Monster sideways and installing it above the center Monster (thereby creating a "T") to test what, if any, effect treating the wall-ceiling intersection at that location will have on perceived system performance. Once that's done, so am I.
