EA II + Solo Home + Wall + Gravis should do the trick for HT. But right, Concerto GP Home would be more of a seamless match tonally etc. The resolution would be severely lopsided in favor of the EA II as it is but then that is a good thing hehehe. (btw some rich dude over here has SF Extremas as main speakers and Guarneris as surround ... like DUH ...)

The EA II is a nominal 8 ohm design while the Signum is a 4 ohm design so on paper, the EA II is easier to drive. Besides, it does have a higher sensitivity. However, the Signum sounds livelier even at low volumes while the EA II needs to be played louder to come alive so some would argue that the EA II in fact needs a more powerful amp than the Signums. Of course if you ask me, both need quality power more than quantity, esp at the nearfield setup where each speaker does its best with maximal use of their sensitivity.
