Thanks for the quick replies... That is the problem, there aren't too many dealers here that have the following series hooked up for demo. I may just go and purchase them, try them at home and then compare them to the reference series at a different story. I've been looking for used sets as well but seems like people hang onto these speakers!
I have a denon avr 590 which is 75wrms per channel. Do you think that is enough power for now?
Cheers
