Oh, I love these speakers! Tired of moving with them at 48lbs. They are loud enough to not to hear the person next to you. I actually took a competition car stereo bass cd and warped the sliding door almost breaking glass. It also about blew out the rear bedroom window, now that is some sound pressure. I was using a Pioneer at 110w per channel now it died along with the center channel. Lots of distortion in Doom DVD, but well worth the earthquake surround. I am looking at new pioneer digital amps similar in price $1500 and models. Long ago I was told to step up to a Marantz don’t need 5k amp. If I go up to 150watts that a lot more than my neighbors can handle. In the Die Hard xxxxxx when the helicopter flew over you could feel the rotors in your chest at 1/2 max. Normal volume is 1/4 to 3/8s. My buddies can’t believe the sound. I do have some cone or dust cap vibration at high bass levels but the new 10" power sub takes the strain off the well worked 400s.

I recently seen Tangent 500s for sale on ebay. I was looking to down size myself and was wonedering what my 400s are worth. If I upgrade is the cost of selling these off worth the new price to power? My center experinced a meltdown and my Pioneer quit on me so I would be in the market for new stuff.
