How to respond to those who say it's not a hobby?

Help, Plinius SA102 and Dynaudio 1.3SE?
Should work very well. I've had a Plinius SA250 Mk.IV with my Dynaudio Contour 3.3's. Wonderful combination. I've heard the the 1.3 SE and really like them. They're the best speaker in their size, that I've heard.

Read My List
The Plinius will power the 2.5i's with ease. It'll warm up the metal tweeters and provide excellent bass. 
am I nuts?
Loose...I had almost the exact system a few years ago. Nak AV10 with NHT 2.5i's for mains, Super Ones for rear, and Mirage center and M&K sub. I found myself listening more to two channel music than the surround. Anyway, I agree with Zspradlin... 
What's under YOUR CD player?

Transparent Audio cables
I auditioned the Music Wave, Plus, Super, and Ultra IC's and speaker cables about three years ago. I found that they each rolled-off at the higher frequencies. In the comparison with other brands at that time, NBS Monitor III, Harmonic Tech Pro Si...
