On this weeken's to-do list - will keep you guys posted :)

Hi Scott - thanks for the reply! To answer your question, no I haven't connected them - I was weary about connecting 8ohm (logitech) speakers to the 6 ohm amplifier - not sure if that would cause any issue/damage to it - but from your suggestion I gather there won't be any? I was thinking of...

Hi folks I've just purchased a new HD 3D TV and have dusted of my trust 5.1 HT system (Logitec z-680), hooked up the optical connector and tested all the channels. Everything works perfectly. My next step is to build some speaker stands and position the speakers. My question is with regards...
