    No, like when the doctor says you need a new left nut....or the wife comes home and tells you that tree just jumped out in front of her.....or the kid says he lost part of his tuition money betting on which Monkey can throw crap further.

    If you interested in Legacy speakers and need them for a smaller location you should check these out.

    I've been curious about these - Google Ads has been inundating me with these things so much, I feel like I already own them.

    Not, not that. That money has to come from somewhere else.

    I had the pleasure of listening to them at LSAF. Doug (Douglas Connection) had a pair connected to a Raven system and he let me have my way with them. :)

    They were pretty impressive if that is the style of speaker you are looking for. The full range sound they provided was not believable. I kept asking him where the sub was.

    I'm not sure I like the sound of that. :|

    I see you left out the "system". Now that's funny. :)

    Not sure if you need FM and can't help you with speakers either but an easy integrated amp there would be only one choice for me.
    Pathos.

    Good luck.

    The toughest part about this is the lack of being able to preview...

    I like the LOOKS of:
    DSkip 's line
    ATC SMC 40 v2

    I have always been curious of those ATC speakers, but now that I have the Ushers and have heard the Rosso's I don't even think about them anymore.

    The Rosso's where out of my budget price range, but since I got the Usher's home I have Zero regret :)

    Submarine ride, check
    Grass skirt for Red, unchecked.

    And as soon as you get home she heads to the store for a pack of cigs.

    But seriously, I hope she quits for good.

    I have 6 years cig free after 40 years of smoking.
    The best way to predict the future is to invent it.

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

    If it works it is right at this point!
    Thanks peeps!

    On the speaker front, need more bass than the 2 ways can deliver.
    The sound is out of the ATC SCM19 v2 is great. No lie. Now i want more.
    Playing progressive rock and some classical is where it is most missed.
    I can use the sub if I want to go thru the Denon...

    @tonyb is a sage or something. (scary correct)

    3 body blows since this thread and another on the way the 5th.
    Gives me time to re-assess. :#
