Well, my plan to get new speakers is slightly delayed. Only slightly. I'm ordering an Emotiva XPA-3 amp to run my front three channels. I think I'm going to go with three M80 v3s across the front, so I wanted to have some external amplification. There seems to be less cause for worry these days, so fingers crossed. Now I'll be saving for the M80s. Hopefully I'll have them when the mystery device is ready to be rolled out.
