Thanks guys. For $99 (maybe even $79 if they adjust my CC) I couldn't resist. I actually really think the silver color with the blue lettering looks really cool. Surprisingly it's very heavy as well so it's either got a bunch of lead weights in it or a decent power supply. It replaces the old Teac 3 cd, double cassette all in one "thingy" that I was using with some 2 way speakers I aquired from the local futureshop a couple of years back. They're not M3tis but with the Onkyo they are singing pretty nicely.
