HELP: Identify Monster IC directivity
Direction of signal will be concidered burning in the IC's. The flow of the signal will leave a signature on the IC in that direction.But not all is lost. Make a decision on what direction to use the IC's and mark them accordingly. Then hook them ...

Another consideration is Tekton Design speakers. They're very affordable and sound beautiful. http://www.tektondesign.com/loudspeaker.html

I have a friend going through the same thing. He bught a Burson HA160d DAC and is using windows until he gets his Mini Mac. He likes the DAC very well, but he's frustated with the learning curve of the computer music.There are some very good progr...

Referance De Cappos are a beautiful sounding speaker.My friend has a pair in a 11x12 room and it is quite involving. Very nice. They're a nice piece of furniture also.

digital room correction

They do have what I consider cones instead of spikes.I put a platform under mine because the carpet and mat I am useing would not allow the cones (spikes) to go through to the floor.That is one thing I think Eric should address on his design. 
How to read speaker sensitivity rating?
The Zu's would be a much easier load for your amp.And the Dominance is a dream speaker. I envy you.You will also love the crossover-less design of the main drivers. They should be a move in the right direction for you.John
