Thanks Stan, you're right the R's are an excellent speaker and used prices are a super bargain along with the FF3 and FF1's. Fortunately a very close friend will be using them so they're still in the family.
The RM 40's are amazing I think and you're right they have to be one of the best buys in audio. Bass is excellent and the midrange and treble are certainly outstanding. I'd heard a pair of RM 40's over at Soundguy3's house a couple of times and was one of the people who felt the upper bass lower midrange was a little thin. At the same time I knew I had to have that midrange and treble. Inner detail is amazing. The new midwoofer totally ameliorated the upper bass thinness problem. These things also throw a soundstage that the R's can't match and the bass is pounding all over the place. The potency of the low bass for ten inch woofers is impressive and at the same time being more accurate I feel than the 15's, at least to the low end of the music spectrum, but it's close.
Joshk: I ordered my speakers about 3 weeks ago. I ordered complete speakers systems, not just the upgrade.
