| Line Magnetic 518ia - How Much Heat Does It Produce? Al, Once again, thanks for your thoughts.

| Line Magnetic 518ia - How Much Heat Does It Produce? Al, and Charles, thanks to both of you for the input. I agree with everything you both had to say.

| Auditioning Elipsa SE tomorrow, getting my ducks in a row, am I missing anything Elipsa SE's are wonderful speakers, especially in the famous violin red color that SF is known for, as was mentioned before.
