    10K retail speakers aren't likely to be used with a cheap receiver. I wouldn't give it a second thought.

    Agreed but everywhere I've looked they are $2500 per pair so the list price of $5000 ea. seems to be marketing tactic.

    Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them.

    Interesting. How does a passive radiator work when it's in a separate cabinet?

    That was my first thought!

    There has to be a port connecting them or the owner doesn't know what he/she has.

    I'm going to the web on this right now. Yup, a huge portal between the two cabinets.

    I had a VERY NICE older Kenwood Component system with older Kenwood speakers.

    I sold it for 500.00 10+ years ago and that too was a regretful sale. The speakers were like these KL-777 I believe. They sounded great to me, but I'm easy to please;

    The amp I think I had. It never got over slightly warm, and that was after jamming for hours while washing our vehicles and waxing one or two. AHHH the good ol' days when I could do that easily.
