    Do you ever play any good music through those speakers or no?

    New? That's the song that made me discover SACD well over a decade ago. She's old school bro'. (Still, a great song) In fact, I somehow misplaced the original SACD I had, so I purchased the SACD again 2 days ago just for that one song.

    For sure, based on the photos I've seen, they are about the same size to!

    I bet it would sound awesome though

    Indeed. You can find them for 2k or so if you are patient. 4k is a little rich unless it has the box, covers etc

    I troll hifishark for grande utopia covers lol. I doubt I will ever find them.

    If I was ever in a position to where a utopia home theater made sense, which considering I would need a 1k sq ft room, will never happen... Haha

    I would most likely aim to find another set of grande utopia, use one for the center and the other for parts.

    Then I would locate 4 of the original utopia which is the grande with a smaller bass driver and no top bass driver to use as surrounds.

    Then I would have 16 x 18 IB subwoofers, 8 front and 8 back.

    This is of course when my account has a big fat billion in it, which will be never haha.

    You would need walls with 2x12 studs in it to withstand that madness!

    5 ft out into the room... Just a tremendous improvement in depth to the stage.
