Hi Andy, Good God! Five hours! in NOVEMBER!?!? Well, I'm jealous. It's 18 degrees here today. I'm looking forwad to XC skiing in the coming months.
Brad, I ended up tryng an Onix integrated a120 from the dudes at AV123. First off, it has a good sound and incredibe bass right off the bat. Did yours need any kind of break in? Compared to the Crown, very close!
To the guy asking about fit'n'finish. My brother is a woodworker and he spend considerable time eyeballing the cabinets. Everyone has been very impressed with the finish work. Functionally, these speakers are INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH. They've been manhandled by the UPS apes all over the country and have the dents to prove it, but still work beautifully. Not the kind of abuse anyone would normally subject their gear to.
