Tom,
Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk! I grew up outside of Overland Park and went to KU for two years before finishing up at UNLV. Good to see a fellow Jayhawker.
I would say the wait will be around a month at best (if there are a lot of dropouts in the list) but most likely around 2 months. I have never heard the Sony but I have heard very positive things about it. I use Klipsch with my 950 and I don't think you will be disappointed.
