It seems that you live in the Washington, DC area. Have you considered visiting Dennis in Bethesda and hearing his SS10s in a home environment as opposed to hotel conference rooms or the marble mausoleum in the Rockville mansion? It also seems he will soon have SS12 bass units as well.
You could bring your own choice of music and, if so inclined, your preamp or amp, or your own speakers too. It only is limited by the size of your forklift.
I highly recommend a visit to the Salk Secret Sound Labs. It is a speaker junkies delight. And Dennis is both friendly and fascinating.
