The final decision has been made- Loreleis have been purchased (dark cherry). My wife thought this would be a nice 25th anniversary present. These are bigger than the paradigm studio 40s, which she really likes the looks and size of, so it took a little convincing. I just hope our room allows the loreleis to breathe right so she is blown away,me too of course. I would like to thank all here who helped me by chimeing in, and taking the time to let me know their opinion, Byteme, Robin, avalon65, vpolineni,deadfish, denvereric, hairofthedawg, and of course (drum roll)

KLAUS. Thanks all and good night, Neil
