    If the amp needs handles to move it around..you've got a hardcore amp.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Complete overkill, but the visual is nice.

    The Plinius has a switch that allows the user to go Class A/B or pure Class A... hence the super heatsinks.

    Mmmmm... heatsinks...

    Pure class A on an amp that size. Whoa! You won't need to turn on the heater during the cold winter months.

    btw, how much more power do you get running a/b vs a?

    LOL. I'm about to make a big purchase too and it can get frustrating.

    Keep us posted, can't wait to see which amp you end up with.

    Organ,

    You said monster amp while referring to a none monster product, Noel Lee will now be sueing you.

    Miner,

    Don't tempt me, I was contemplating getting the 1090 and letting my nova do surrounds, but then I wouldn't need my newly aquired 1070. I do not have the cash to do this, nor do I think I will hear a worthwile benefit, but it would be pretty sweet and it is only a couple hours away...

    Jared

    P.S. Those heatsinks scare me, they look like the antena of the moth I killed in my room last night.
