What kind of surround system do you have?

It'll be put in a medium sized living room (somewhere around 20x40ft)
looking at 4/5 inputs.. mainly for my consoles, really.. I don't watch DVD as most of the videos are.. uh.. borrowed from the interwebs.
I have an LG sound bar which sounds surprisingly good for normal tv use.
I'd like to get one of the Bose systems that you power with your own receiver. I used to have an Acoustimass 15 with the smaller jewel cube speakers which sounded great and was unobtrusive. I know there's much better out there but it was good enough and it looked good which was important. I'm past the point in my life where I want a set of 5 foot tall B&W speakers on either side of my TV.

BIC V1220 12" 400 down firing watt Sub (love this thing)
Another BIC user! Excellent.
Here is my basement setup (low quality phone pic). All wiring ran back to closet where gear is housed and use RF remote to control room. I used an HDMI extender over two cat5 wires.

BIC makes awesome stuff, their subs are insane. I looked at that same F-12 you have but wanted down firing instead of front firing for whatever reason I can't remember haha
I have mine set ridiculously low and it's still powerful.
I was just kinda wondering why you chose it... I don't have a reason why I chose the F12 over yours.... lol
My Setup is:
70" Vizio 4k M series
40" 5.1 Vizio sound bar type system. It has the sound bar up front and two satellite speakers for the back two.
Its by no means the best surround sound set up but it works nice for the room we have.
The feature i like the most, is the ARC capability. So i can use the tv remote to control the volume instead of two different remotes.
Pretty easy setup also. Plug Sound bar into TV and Wall. Sub is wireless so you just have to plug into the wall. The satellite speakers plug into the back of the sub and get wireless signal from sound bar.

Did you run HDMI cables right to the TV now from each source? If yes your TV probably has an optical out to use back to the Denon....TV does video switching and keep AVR on same input for surround. My Denon had the same issue but was under warranty and i got it fixed.
I honestly think it was as petty as aesthetics (and saving like 20 bucks) . I like the the speaker on the bottom being hidden. Performance wise I've never really heard a good argument for front vs. down sine low hz sound waves are omni-directional.
Aaalright, how does the crew feel about Denon AVR-X2100W?
The X2100 is a nice unit may find a real good price as the X2200 looks to have just come out. I cant buy the 2100 via distribution anymore but i can get the X2200W for $495 plus tax if you want PM me. I have an account at the link below.
