Edmund, great work! I am currently looking to do exactly what you are talking about. I just purchased two ksp-400 in excellent condition for $400. Currently both amp's work, however the right speaker's sub has a slight hum when powered on, with or without any input. The non-grounding plug makes no difference. This was the reason the previous owner was selling them so cheap. The right sub still works but sounds slightly weak or muffled. The hum can only be heard at low volumes and does not change with volume, gain, phase or boost control. I assume it is the amp, but I am very reluctant to have it repaired after reading the multiple threads on amp problems. The amp that has been suggested to me was the QSC GX3. http://www.qscaudio.com/products/amps/gx/gx.htm The power output seems to be ample and a bonus is the input options. It is the only rack mount amp I have found that has standard rca inputs along with the xlr and and trs inputs. The price seems very reasonable at around $300. I would love feedback from anyone who has any experience with QSC amps. I am also looking at using the Reckhorn B1 to manage the tuning. The other option I am looking at is continuing to not use the sub on the right side. I am not convinced I need it. My set-up is a surround sound in a 15x18 living room. The components are listed in my signature line. I think that both subs with that much power may be overkill. Would it improve sound quality significantly? BTW if you end up making those amp delete plates for the back of the speakers would you be interested in making a spare pair?

Sorry if this post is out of place but woot.com and sellout.woot.com have the rf35 set of 2 for $505 shipped, and the rc35 center for $205 shipped. Just thought this may help someine here. I am not associated with either site.
