Keep in mind, though, that the Studio 100 mains, 570 center, 4 x 470 surrounds and a single Servo 15 will set you back about $7000 U.S.



Oh, absolutely. I guess it comes down to "you get what you pay for" but at the same time, arguably the difference in cost does not quite justify the small extra performance (law of dimishing returns).

Perhaps a ported VP-100 (or W-100 in my case) might be an option?
