Mark,

Welcome to the asylum. Always lots to learn in this business, and for me it has been a constant learning process that never ends. Please post some photos of your Z-5500 setup. I have been thinking along the same lines of having all of the speakers mounted on a single, vertical column, similar to my Bose PAS. If you don't have webspace to post the photo, email it to me and I will post if for you.

Good Luck and glad you came out of the shadows,

Gary
