I have not heard of the Chane's but their website looks good. I am leaning toward the 340SE2 which is brand new upgrade over the prior SE. Same with their center. The introductory pricing looks attractive as well and they were highly recommended on the AVS forum. What AVR or amp are you using? I am seeing that Denon has recently reduced special pricing on some of its AVRs. I already have Definitive Tech sub and some bookselves that I could use as satellites if I decide on 5.1, but may stay 3.1.
I got the Costco version of the Yamaha RX-V6A. The Costco version is Yamaha TSR-700. It's the exact same receiver but $300-$350 less at Costco. The problem is that it's out of stock a lot. I had to monitor their website until it came in stock and then I pounced on it.
Costco also has Denon receivers that are significantly discounted from the equivalent device from places like Best Buy.
I want to go to 5.1 from 3.1 but it requires running wires behind walls and into ceilings and mounting speakers in corners of the room. I'm not confident enough to do this myself. I've tried to get an estimates from local installers but my emails go unanswered. I suppose because my job is a minor thing and they'd rather to a full blown installation. So I stay at 3.1.
