Hi All,

I've decided on a couple of components in my new HT setup and want your opinions/advice.

I have a small-ish room (16x20), a 50" Pioneer Kuro Plasma (circa 2009), and need a good 3.1 setup. (5.1 is not in the cards due to the odd-shape of the room.)

So far I'm thinking about a NAD T758 (~$1000), plus a pair of Vienna Mozart Grand SE towers (~$3500). I've listened to this setup in my local audio store and liked it a lot. Great range down to 30Hz or so, with only the lowest bass notes lacking. I could easily see myself waiting on the sub for a while, but will surely add one at some point. A center channel is a must, however, and I will need a thin-ish, wall-mount center for under the Plasma.

Two questions:
1) Am I on the right track so far?
2) For center and sub, I know Vienna has a wall-mount center with their "Waltz" line, as well as the "Principal Grand" 12" sub. Should I stick with Vienna for these two components? I know it's important to match speakers tonally, but I'm at a loss as to whether I should be locked in to Vienna or looking elsewhere.

Thanks in advance...

Tim
