Did you consider the Odyssey speakers with the Kartago/Cyclops. Pretty sweet sounding set-up. Sunfire will be fine also, the subs have thier own amps.

The best speaker you ever heard?
Five years have past since I have posted on this thread. Sampled the wares in Vegas-The Show again. I still have not heard anything that comes close to MBL. Magico has perhaps closed the gap but MBL is playing in a different league as we speak. Th...
