Honestly, dwgncat, I have not heard the T 2+s either. I have/own the T 3s and T 2s and now the Ones. So I am basing my comments on the differences between the older 2s and 3s. And there is NO COMPARISON, IMHO. Even now that I own the Ones, my old Twos were not that far off, so the newer, upgraded 2+s must sound AWESOME!!!!
Again, hope this all helps, but only you can decide. Pls tell us you bought the Two +s. I mean, pls tell us what you go for.
The T 2+s will make sweet music on matter what you drive them with, as the Moderator Dude said, the Anthem would be fine.
But later on, if you choose to upgrade electronics, you will be rewarded with speakers that can show/bring out the difference in the better equipment.
Have fun with it, God Bless,
Wayne

Everyone, again thanks for all the helpful assistance so far!

I tentatively placed my GEt speaker order tonight but the order won't go into the ordering system until later tomorrow or Friday morning. My scheduled delivery and set up date is Friday, July 14 (or Christmas in July!)

My question is this...

I measured and my MLP is 11' - 11.5' from where I expect the Triton 2+/3+ will be in an unilateral triangle of 11-11.5' (please see included pic from tonight). The 'theater' area of the newly finished basement is basically 13' x 13' but opens to the right of the included picture to a rectangle area of roughly 10' x 27'.

As I'm starting to put together my component console and measure the length from where it will be to the MLP, I believe that the Triton 3+ will work very well working in concert with the SuperCenter XL for the front stage.

Am I looking/viewing/thinking about this correctly?

I really appreciate the guidance and opinions.

dwgncat,
Looks great, love the color, it will be a spiffy place!!!!
Again, I would go with the T 2+s, but up to you.
And you can feel free to sit closer to the speakers than that. I sit closer to my TV and speakers and toe the speakers in, most everybody sits too far from their TV when watching movies, you want it to fill your eyesight as much as possible. And that room is not very large, so sitting closer makes sense, lets you have room behind, not sure about the sides, for surrounds.
Have fun with it, but it will be great.
God Bless,
Wayne

Sounds good. Place the L/R speakers as far apart as possible without getting too close to the side walls and then toe them in toward the MLP.

Hello all. I wanted to share the finished product via some pics. A local authorized dealer came out this past Friday and set up everything including the Control4 pieces (love the remote btw).

I ended up going with the Triton 3+, SuperCenter X, and Invisa 650s for rears and the sound is amazing! I still need to play around with Anthem's ARC some more as the T3+'s need to be moved out further to create a equilateral triangle with the MLP.

Thanks again to everyone that provided valuable feedback, opinions, and information. I really appreciate it!
