Paul, congrats.
As you love classical, there are so many great 5.0 SACDs in that genre to enjoy.

Bob,
Wife must've taken the bottle - a couple glasses of vino certainly help with the listening sessions!

Thanks Bart, it should be fun to bring some of those discs out we haven't played in a while!

On another note, speaking of classical - just bought a couple tickets to see La Traviata at La Fenice when we go to Venice in May.

The Vox is stunning. And should be a perfect match to your Futura.
I would have tried to raise the center from the floor in order to get the maximum out of that fantastic speaker.
As it is now it must be 3 feet difference between the center and Futura treble.
How is the sound experience with a center on the floor, f ex when you watch a film with a car driving from left to right. Doesn't the sound "dive" between the speakers?

Great point - got a plan to raise if off the floor in the near future - more to come! The stand does allow adjustment to "aim" it upwards, but I haven't had time to play with that yet.
