Saw Jackson Browne Tuesday Night
No...Mark Goldenberg. He's using essentially the same band as he used live for I'm Alive, minus Scott Thurston, plus two female singers, not one.The record is being released today (Dave Holland's new "Pass It On" too, if you're a jazz fan).

Downgrading... Is it possible??? Suggestions
If you want to go stand-mounted, maybe something like Merlin TSM-MXes, with a great integrated? There are quite a few good integrateds available. You could even try the Ayre if you like the Ayre you have. 
Parasound Halo JC2
Curio - Based on my experience with the JC-1s in the past - and from what I've heard from others about them as well - they require a **great** deal of break-in. I don't know, but it's possible that this is true of the JC-2 as well. I found it curi...
