floor standing speakers for surrounds?

Your Anthem Statement P5 is an awesome quality multichannel amplifier that will definitely hold it's own with 2-channel sound quality.

Here is a quote from a review in http://www.hometheatersound.com/equipment/anthem_statement_p5.htm

"but the P5 -- with its high power output, incredible build quality, and first-rate sound -- is just as deserving. It should be considered one of the very best multichannel amplifiers currently available."

I missed the note where you said you were using it for the fronts too. That's why I found it odd that you were relegating it to a side channel amp. I didn't know if you were using mono blocks, etc.

O...ok... just was surprised about the comment... but that make sense.

Well the one guy said that floor standing speakers are a waste... I don't thin i am going to a couple hundred page book though. any other ideas?

Baranowski, I'm getting the sense that you really want floor standing speakers for surrounds. If I'm getting that sense correctly, then go for it. There's no question that deeper bass will be more uniform in the room, crossover will be far lower, etc. etc. There's a big difference with quality full-range speakers vs. bookshelves in a setup. So I say go for it and see how you like it.

As a side-note, Toole's book is great. If you ever want some geeky reading, that's the book to grab.
