Interesting read! You guys a spot on when it comes with sound systems!

I think Crescendo Opus 1 is suited for my needs but Morel does sound good too! As it is easier to set up for a first timer DIY as oppose to the Opus 1.

morel tempo vs Maximo is the next question! They are about $70~ different. But I wouldn't know anything about the specs! Is it worth the $70?

If i go with the Morel Maximo, which amp is best suited for the speakers? (Nice 4ch amp that will do the job well!) Or should i get a 2ch amp instead?

I know for certain that I'll use the amp for two ch for the fronts but may have future upgrade later. Or is it better to have two sets of two ch amps- Buy another one when the upgrade happens?
