GRUNDRC- got around the wife/money problem with the ol' "bait and switch" tactic- took her to a few local audio stores (after I decided to go with Outlaw) and showed what I "wanted" - which was equipment with VERY HIGH PRICE TAGS. She gave all of it a thumbs down, causing my immediate hang-dog expression, tears, hair pulling and the dreaded gnashing of teeth. Then I showed her Outlaw, and ,sice she is really a sweet, kind-hearted person, gave me the O.K. for this magnificently inexpensive system. She even accused me of "thoughtful bargain shopping" (which was a first in thirty years of marrage). It worked, and I never have to hide the price- clever huh? Oh, she also informed me that buying this new e3quipment would still be a waste of money since, she assured me, she wouldn't "hear any sonic differences". The 950/7100 arrived, and when set up she graciously informed me that THERE WAS A VERY NOTICABLE SONIC DIFFERENCE . Sure made me feel GOOD .

Hope that this "method" can work for others .
