@dekay I never want anyone to feel bad, especially if you are spending your own money on your own choices. :)

@hilde45  Thanks for that.  I've had very good luck with the GIK soffit traps.  I'll have to check out Real Traps when I'm looking again.  
Subwoofer speed is in the room, not the box
@bjesien  : Because it sounds so much better.  In almost all cases when users have a high pass filter they are astonished at how much better their main speakers sound passed high vs. passed low. The naive (without actual experience) is that you p...

I have listened to them several times and I find them terrific values at anything under $10k. Exceptional parts quality. The only possible negative is that if you are enamored with certain "high end" speaker's sound you'll find them too laid back...

@jc4659  - Yeah, I wish I had "just for fun" funds to let me swap these in and out. :)  I'll have to sit and wait for others to report.

@tweak1  - I haven't listened to those, but My stock ICEpower 250s equaled or beat a lot of linear amps.  Not as good as my Luxman, but stock was really really good.

@soix Yes, you are missing the reason the AC cable has a ground wire.  It's to trip the fuse. The ground wire on equipment (amp, refrigerator, any) is there to ground the metal shell so in the event of a fault where the incoming hot shorts to the...

To clarify:  I meant a Vandersteen SS amplifier driven by a CAT preamp.  Of course, this was a Vandersteen demo so it was driving Vandersteen speakers.  Also, CAT preamps are my absolute favorite preamps, SS, tube or otherwise.  Wish I could affo...
