The Montis are here! its been a fantastic 6 weeks. I pulled both of the subs out of the cabinet and did the walk and the combo is beyond special. I don't have 8 gauge wiring or McIn this anything or XLR cables but I do know one thing, these speakers are the real deal. I still haven't optimized...
I hear ya there. I gave a good listen to the Ethos and the Summix X's a week or so back, with the way they were setup i noticed just a little better bass on the X but not nearly enough for me to spring for the extra cost. I did like the bigger panel though.

Thanks for responses (and the welcome) but I'm not quite sure how to take them.
1) Spend another 80k+ on speakers and subs - I've got 2 kids in daycare
2) Carpet / more rugs over hardwood, remove a 10k+ custom cabinet, add window treatments etc. - The cabinet removal was considered a few times...

I've looked high and low but I need some specific advice on the best way to optimize this setup.
