Aball, thanks for the great review. Sounds like just ticket for me. I had been looking at something quite a bit more dear - the VA Mahlers or Verity Parsifals. But I came to my senses and realized that the omni design of the Planets is perfect for my space and intentions. I suspect that I would heve been disappointed with the Mahlers or Parsifals - not because they are lacking in any meaningful way. Its just that they are not the right tool for the job or space. Somtimes that is a bitter pill when you have your heart set on something that is great but just not right - regardless of the cost differential which is exponential in this case. Again, thanks for the enthusiastic review. I will look forward to providing my own review soon - assuming there are any available.
