I am really looking forward to this, and hope I dont have any problems. The wife will kill me if there are any. I have about a 100 SACDs and you are right, they sound so much better.

As to the GR speakers. I know it is a big risk, but I am glad I did it. I built a pair of AV-1s and loved them. Then a pair of unfinished AV-3s went for sale for $300 and I jumped on them.

The AV-3s are amazing speakers, particularly at vocals. They are wonderful for both music and hometheater. The transmission line design means they will play down to about about 45Hz in my room.

I couldnt be happier. I believe Danny (great guy btw) has a pair of traveling AV-1 speakers. For the cost of shipping you can have them for a week. Give him a call and ask.
