Thanks "MC", I was able to upgrade my system of separates with your advice without spending six figures. BlackHawk took some time to get use too but it has proven to be the best investment for my money. (Had an SAE 2600 and CT-7, 4000 with La Scala's). You see I'm not rich or well off.
Reading some of this post reminds me of "attack of the clones" you can't beat them join. take if for what you want it to be and move on.
It has taken some time to get the break in time recommended for the Blackhawk. Most fire it up for a few hours on the weekend. For my music it was the best upgrade made. Spent three times the cost on secondhand products (AudioGon) included that did not live up to the hype of the owner.
MC advised "don't throw good money after bad" which is probably better than any of the other info found in many of these threads.
If looking for advice in the future, MCs' threads will be the first one that is will look too can't recall many others except "oldhvymec4", Mopar or LS, what your flavor. Take what you need and leave the rest. Just enjoy what you like and don't try to like what someone else enjoys.
