Does Blockbuster Edit Their Movies?
FWIW I was in Blockbuster last night and could not find any comments about editing on any of the 'racy' movies I looked at. I imagine it changes depending what area the store is in... 
Acoustic Zen Silver Reference II ic users....
I would not sell the MI2 just yet, I found those to be excellent speaker wires and you will have to pay quite a bit more to better them. Keep them until you get your new ones and compare before selling them IMO. For instance I think Satori is slig...

16 ohms speakers- 8 ohms output amp
I imagine you would have tighter bass than if you had 8 OHM speakers. there is a limit on how high the impedance can be before it is not musical with the result being a dry sound that is too lean. These are observations after using a Speltz autofo... 
Muse Model 9 or Classe cd/dvd-1?
I own the Muse model nine sig ref 3 and like it very much. I really like movies and find it has a terrific picture with a very good remote. The sound is very nuanced and slightly forward though never harsh. I compared it to the latest Electrocompa... 
Yba electronics and JM Reynaud speakers?
