Looking for HTPC setup for my master bedroom...

And check out Yamaha RX series of A/V receivers. I have a Yamaha RX-V657. They have a device they call YPAO; It uses a microphone that you locate where you will be listening from and the receiver calibrates itself. I only had to make a few minor tweaks after it ran.

FWIW, most decent receivers come with this capability now. The Onkyo I just set up last week had this and I got very familiar with the setup function since I was installing speakers and moving things around a bit at first. Just plug in the mike and it runs a couple test sounds through each speaker. It automatically sets delays based on distance and also frequency cutoffs depending on your speakers.

Well that shows how up to date I am on current A/V systems.

Everyone gets that way. May last turner was a Kenwood that lasted over 10 years as a main piece. I've just spent 4 weeks reading every review I could find in the sub-$1000 range, so I'm up to speed now. But 6 months from now? Eh, in the dark again.
