Your nickname and picture caught my eye today...

I'm sure I've seen your name before, but never made the connection until now...

The reason I'm writing is that I happen to own 2 volvo p1800's - you know - the "Saint Car." One is white as well, although i get tired of driving in a white P1800 - since they ALL seem to be that color!

As far as the speaker question - I think that the ONLY reason to go with a bigger speaker is to be able to push greater volume. If you are in a large room, you need big speakers... otherwise, small speakers and a sub seem to work great for people - look at all the people using m22's and a sub!

I have personally always preferred towers that can handle the bass w/o a sub - but the more I learn, I think it's just because I've never heard a properly set up subwoofer.

well... I hope that helped answer your question...
