Wow, your basement is 1800 sf?!? Man I wish the soils here allowed us to have basements...

I'm still seriously considering a vp180, and when I finally take the plunge I had the same question about my 150. If I find a house with space for a theater room, I thought about using it for surround in the main living room but I think I'd rather just get a nice pair of wood veneer m22s for the living room and stick with stereo for now.

I already gave my VP150 to my dad a long time ago, but I'm thinking about passing my single M22 along to him after I get a VP180 (or two) or third M80 (still debating with myself about that one). I need to get some more external amplification before I get to that point. Right now I'm relying on just my receiver until my Axiom amp issues are sorted.

What's the latest news about the amp?

It's back with Axiom. I haven't heard further word, but I told them I could do without it until everything's been resolved. It was my plan to use the Axiom amp for my mains and center(s), so whenever I get it back, I'll do that. In the meantime, I'm going to think about other amplification for the remaining channels. I'm not sure which way I'll go with that yet.

Parasound Halos. They're pretty.

Ken, those are nice looking amps. Really nice design on those--elegant and sleek.

They are, but I think they're out of my price range. Ha ha.

Come on, CV! It's your job to help us live vicariously through you.


Don't disappoint us.

Oh, right. I'm only supposed to disappoint you guys with my love life. I need to keep that straight.

They're that much more expensive than an A1400? I don't know, I just assumed they were out of my range.
