Thanks for the input. I have searched around on the internet for info on the products mentioned in the replies and found substantial amounts of data. Unfortunatly, the B&W and Paradigms are not available through the internet and can only be purchased from "authorized dealers," as new products. I am afraid that I cannot support that type of business practice for a entertainment product. It's just a personal choice. Please continue to send personal recomendations, my search is far from over t and may be interrupted by a hopefully short trip to the Persian Gulf.
