    Pumpkinman, yes please. I will shoot you a PM.

    This kind of concerns me on the speaker though "that is if your listening room is the appropriate size and/or you don't require extremely loud dynamics. "

    Skip or anyone, any idea if this means they wont go loud? Sometimes ( like we all do) I just want to rock out with some Rush or UFO. While I do still care about the sound when kicking it up, I still want to kick it up. Even with that small room on the legacy's I have hit 100+ watts on the 402. heck with the LSI9's I have hit over 100 watts on them.

    Thanks skip that makes complete sense. Any smaller speaker ( outside of the 9's) when kicked without a sub is going to compress! I would cross them over around 50 or 60 to prevent that. When the seller listed it how they did, it made me worry a bit. Heck even the reviews I read on the PM1 say the same without a sub but with and crossed over, allows them to be more dynamic when kicked up.

    I saw people talking about the 2's and some of the pics. Like the mmicro one on steroids! They look sharp.

    Thanks I do aslo or at least hold me over for 4-5 years till I have a bigger room back. Or if they are as good as what I keep reading, I can just keep the small room.

    Now I need to figure out, what tap to put them on? They are rated at 6 ohm. The McIntosh has 8,4,2 ohm taps. My guess is 8 but, Im not sure.

    LOL Tonyb. That Parasound looks like it would be one heck of a combo but, hard to give up my 110 lb monster McIntosh mc402. I like looking at the VU's. Put some VU;s on the Parasound and I'm sold! LOL

    They should be here tomorrow. I am hopping I can make it home in time to sign for them. I might need to take off a little bit early from work. .. Who am I kidding I am going to take off early from work LOL.

    Yeah, I forgot you had that monster Mac in the mix. Anyway....I don't see you coming out of that room for awhile. Food will be shoved under the door, empty bucket to crap in, you won't shower for days. Family members will think you left and joined the circus. You may even fake Ebola to be quarantined to that room for 3 weeks. Happy listening bro, and let us know how it works out....after you shower of course.
