To give a little more info, I enjoy home theater but tend to appreciate my system more with music. I am not really into the 5 channel stereo thing for music, and prefer 2 channel. So that leaves me with just the st4's (at an 86db sensitivity) and a sub. It sounds good, but I think 2 channel stereo would probably be better with the rf-7's

furthermore, lately I think I am really more of a stereo guy period, even with home theater, and am considering just using 2 speakers...where again I think the klipsch would be better...

thoughts?

Go out and try to find the absolute worst speakers you can...like at a garage sale or something that someone is just dumping off really cheap. Use them for a few weeks until you just can't take the torment any longer. After that period of time is over, then start using your current speakers again...you'll appreciate them all over again and it'll almost be like getting new speakers! This is one cure for the upgrade bug.
