| Is this the normal way business is handled? If I were to contact a seller and told that person I wanted their item at their listed cost plus shipping, they may or may not choose to sell to me. As a seller you want to weigh all your options if you are lucky enough to have them. Just because ... | |
| What about Polk speakers? Nothing against Polk, but there are a lot of good companies out there worth checking out. Don't be afraid to listen to a couple other systems besides polk's. I think you'll be impressed by what else is out there for the same amount of money. | |
| Tube or solid state for Paradigm Studio 100 V2s I've never had the 100's, but have had a host of others in the paradigm line. I had an anthem pre amp biamping with parasounds amps.
