Great point about longevity, Peter; thanks. I think I'll get one six port for my non speaker cables, and a 7 channel plate for my speaker wire connections. That will save me some coin.

Three shipments of cables ect. came today, and hopefully Monoprice's package will get here tomorrow; then fishing cables and hooking things up this weekend!

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.
