| Sapphire Speakers They are Sapphire brand speakers, not ACI Sapphires. They used to have a website here but its not up anymore. Some info here from another forum | |
| B&K ST 202+ I would definitely keep the 202, its an outstanding amp and will serve you well as a backup or for a 2nd system. You rarely see these for sale and for good reason, they are fantastic amps. | |
