Stolen property
I would suggest that just the fact that it crossed you mind it probably is not a good deal.  Every dealing I've had there was not a red flag (let alone a pink one). There is literally tons of equipment for sale...only deal with reputable dealers ... 
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)

@mahgister  Excuse me sir, it appears to me that you are the one who is insulting me.  I am not an idiot. Also, how do you know that my post was directed at you? I'm glad you enjoy your system and I hope as fervently as I do mine. Regards, ba...

Handling Heavy Amps
@jfrmusic  When my son was in college he used to scan on-line ads for help moving things.  Very surprising (to me) how many he answered and was paid well.  He would take buddies with him if it was furniture or larger items. Put an ad in the loca...

@n80 This falls under the rule of don't sweat the small stuff.  I've had vastly different lengths of speaker cabling and could never tell the difference.  In fact one time I coiled one up about 50 feet of 10ga and intentionally put the tweeter cab...

It's attention, not money, we should budget
I have no budget. (Can be taken several ways).   Regards, barts  
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
@gnoworyta  Your post (question) sounds like a fishing expedition to me.  Particularly the "If one had a budget of $20K max".  Not being snarky.  My advice is to get a map and spend a good while, days at least, and mark all the audio stores that... 
A little deeper on amp power please....
It has been so long that I can't remember where the original thought of more is better came from.  Given that it's a good "more" not just crap. I went tri-amp a few decades ago and will never go back.  At the moment using two Pass mono X260.8(s) ... 
Lifting the Christmas veil
Well you wife must know what she is doing or Santa whispered in he ear! My wife can only identify speakers...the rest are just "boxes".  Has asked a number of times why I need so many.  And just like Mozart my reply is "this is the exact number t...
