    I put cones under my 2900 and every few weeks I have to re-center it in the center of the the rack:D The dual cs+ subs are brutal.

    It will be a loooooong time before the Athena's go anywhere. With every upgrade I do, I see more and more why they were a Stereophile recommended speaker. They just get better as the equipment gets better.

    The only speaker I would consider would be the Paradigm Studio 100's.

    He bought and is sending a new remote when it comes in. This is my first MF piece, though I've been looking at it for some time--just was alot more than I wanted to pay. When this one came along at less than 1/2 retail, I had to go for it.

    I'm down with the flu right now, so needless to say my ears are "tweaked" at the moment---but what I can hear correctly sounds stunning.

    I'm sure the more you listen the less you'll think about the money spent. ;)

    I just dream of the day when I can upgrade my speakers to some B&W's or something.

    I had a mighty fine demo of some CDM 7NT's. The only area they lacked in was the bass. In which case I'd probably go with the 9NT's if I could afford them. I also had a chace to listen to the CM4 and was quite impressed as well. I mostly listen to more mellow music and I'm sure the B&W's would do a fantastic job.
