I think you have chosen great speakers. Good luck with the project.

Word of advice from me helping a buddy do this, make sure everything is movable fairly easily. There is nothing worse then needing to plug in a new PS3/Blu-Ray/Surround Sound processor and needing to break out the claw hammer and new molding to get to the plug since you thought the 'picture-frame' install looked nice.

+3 on the speakers by the way.

Yeah-

What I had in mind is leaving a gap for cords to pass through out of view. The closet depth is about 36", bit I'm only going to go back 18" deep so if I ever needed to get back there, I've got space to work. In a worse case scenario, I do have an attic wall behind all of it.

I'm using the same center channel I purchased in '93-the klipsch academy nthe fronts and rears are from their reference series. I love me some klipschorns, but I don't have the space/budget for them.

I bought some original Hereseys when I was in the service. La Scala's were double the money, $500 each, wish I would have grabbed a couple

I purchased the Klipsch Forte's 25 years ago and have never regretted it. Cost me a month's wages at the time. The cabinets have seen better days after sun bleaching and the like, but the sound has never disappointed.
