    Keep buying man. You need to upgrade your interconnects, power cables, speaker wires and even your rack to accomidate these new things...

    And buy some accoustic panels from Skip too while your at it.

    The verdict is in and the "Do its" have won. I was gonna do it anyway. I was just on here making lively conversation like always. Actually, I did want some input, like I would have changed my mind if God posted not to do it.

    Nice looking speakers that you want.

    The thoughts of taking any kind of loan even from myself gives me hives! I don't do anyones interest payments.

    So long as you aren't jeopardizing your retirement funds, go for it and enjoy.

    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

    It is imperative that we recognize that an opinion is not a fact.

    LOL, Unfortunately my retirement money as well as everything else is tied up in an irrevocable trust that can only be released to my brother who is my sole beneficiary.

    All accounts have his name on them, not hubby so all he is left with is his precious speakers!

    Three words my friend.....Interest Free Financing. Music Direct or Audio Advisor. I don't use the 401k loan unless it's an emergency type deal....but that's just me.

    I get all of my stuff from Audio Thesis, Dskip unless it is something he doesn't carry.

    These must have the upgraded crossovers - hence why they are a little more than all the other sellers are offering them for. Worth every penny! B)

    My wife thinks I am out to spend every penny I can get my hands on for audio gear, woodworking tools or fishing. In a way she it right. When I do get extra cash I get new stuff or go fishing.

    I save and then spend. I have 16 years to retirement so I am not touching my 401k at all.

    For my Signatures I did put 1/2 on the CC. The Adorama deal was too good to pass up.

    401k loan is a maybe, you only live so long might as well enjoy some of life.
    When I was a kid my parents told me to turn it down. Now I'm an adult and my kids tell me to turn it down.

    Hey Bud, you think I can power these okay with an AVR? It's one of those ones that came with 5 little speakers and one bigger box for the floor with one big speaker in it. Could probably even use the same gray and green speaker wires I already have? Just clip right in the back, right?

    I'm sure it will sound better than what is currently being used. Buy a pair and find out.
