There are incredible deals currently from many dealers on new Stratus Gold-I $1500-1700 range with blems even cheaper, very high value/performance ratio and I agree that you need some power to bring out their best 150-200+ watt range. I am echoing Bulldog that you have to pay much more to noticeably set up from Gold-I, great value for audiophiles.

This means pull them 5-6ft out from speaker wall to get best imaging etc. Not saying they are unbeatable at their price level, but they offer good value for audiophile. I'm sure the Platinums will sound even better but they should at 2x the price. I own some PSB Silver-I also and think they are a little more detailed and image even better vs Gold-I, but overall I prefer the Gold-I sound.
