Thanks guys... Both systems sound pretty nice. They are definitely poor man's specials :D, but they are nice for now. I'll post pics of my Wilson Watt Puppies on Krell and Threshold after I win the powerball.

king-edwin,

I know-I know.....I'm just a "pretty discreet" kind of guy. I've just never been that kind of person to say Hah ! Look What I Got. You follow me ?

I do promise that I will do it, because that's what Tom(OCCD) would ultimately would want me to do.

Not That My Stuff Is Better Than Anyone Elses Here, Or Anything Like That. I Just Don't Want Anything To Come Across The Wrong Way ED.

I hope that you and everyone else understands that ED ?--------BILL

No fit was thrown. She doesn't understand my addiction, but she really doesn't have to, and I don't expect her to.

I get that too... a lot of nodding and eye rolling, but luckly not much in the way of anger.
