Mr_Sukebe, thanks for your answer. I will have to start doing the rounds audioroom by audioroom then. Hehe, my missus will not like that. I guess I have a long way to go, but I am looking forward to it. What are your criticisms of B&W speakers (just very curious - no intent at provocation)? Are they too cold? What are your favourite speakers?
