BigWill, I bought the PC-Ultra, which is the "evil water heater" black cylinder.

You're thinking of the SS cylinder, which is has that VERY nice looking wood veneer on it. That one is $700 more than the PC-Ultra, and needs an external amplifier.

I was tempted, though.

M- M60s/VP150/QS8s/SVS PC-Ultra/HK630 Sit down. Shut up. Listen.
