The 120H speakers do have a port on them to use anthems room correction system which is supposed to be preatty good. I understand the benefits of separate subs but given very limited options as to placement and the built in room correction of the 120s, the built ins are probably the way to go. I think Anthem/founders is having a sale right now too and I just bought the mrx740 avr which comes with the room correction stuff. Thanks all for the help. Now to pitch it to the wife....wish me luck
