I actually talked to Fritz yesterday for one hour, he seemed like a great guy. He didn't recommend his Carbon 7s as he said he thought my room might be too small, but I've heard fantastic things about them. I'm also looking into Sapphire XLs and his smaller speakers on the used market, they just don't seem to come up very often (and for good reason: nobody wants to sell them). As far as sound goes, I like a bright sound with lots of energy, which was one of the reasons I was attracted to the tiny dancers. And they have gotten some good reviews in other places, and I've heard that with front-porting, wall placement isn't as big of an issue. For subwoofers, I guess I'll take a look at Elemental Designs, I've definitely been attracted to what ACI has to offer on the used market.
