Yep, our dual 16-46s are quite a conversation starter. One way of looking at the visual spectacle is that it invariably leads to a audio demonstration. Very few people can resist the urge to actually listen to something that they have never seen before. More then one friend has left our place after watching one of the "usual suspects" (LOTR, AOTC, etc)and ordered one or two SVS products.
My wife is less concerned about the size than what it does to her kitchen!
