Hi Robin,
For you to drop the kilobucks you did this year and NOT get room treatment would be like throwing money out the window. You will be shocked at what you have been missing, and the room pak costs basically the same as a power cord. I would say my 8th Nerve room treatment made a type of upgrade you just can't get any other way. Anyone who drops more than a grand on a system is basically not getting the full sound without a great room, and 8th Nerve was the best value I could find available.
