I know that i have some upgrades to do but it sure sounds great! Mains polk lsi9's sub psw10 and my receiver is a beefy yamaha rx-797. Sounds great. In the future I might use my pre outs for a rotel rb-1080 (250w/2 @8ohms, 380w/2 @4ohms) and a nicer sub (below 25hz). But I am in 2 channel bliss right now. Allen Parson's Project live is real nice.

    Welcome to CP. I realy like your plans for future upgrades. I too am a huge fan of 2 channel.
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks
    Ben

    Reminds me of one of my all time favorites for 2 channel, in the words of David Gilmour, from David Gilmour (1978)....

    "There's no way out of here, when you come in you're in for good
    There was no promise made, the part you've played, the chance you took
    There are no boundaries set, the time and yet you waste it still"

    I'd be surprised if you noticed any difference by unplugging the PSW10 if the Lsi9s are properly powered.

    I'd just sell that thing on ebay, CL, here, or put it in another setup.

    Glad you like your setup! I want to get my hands on some LSi7s.
