Many thanks for the sensible advice above guys. I would normally wait until the budget permitted and indeed, there isn't a huge rush except that the AVR 135's are clearing out making room for the 140s. They are already marked down and there is a floor model that I could get with my friend's employee discount on top of it all. So, it could turn out to be a good deal.

The timing is good because I have the girlfriend's blessing to pick one up so she can put our current one in the bedroom.

That is why I may seem a bit jumpy on the purchase.

As a side note, I just had my first audition with the M60's today. I was really impressed. In fact, in 2 channel stereo I had to check that the surrounds weren't on because the sound was so enveloping. They are ranking high on my list right now.

Cheers,

Jordan
