Polk Monitor 50s $100 ea. w/ free shipping @ The 'Egg. Onkyo TXSR706B THX Select2 Plus 7.1 HT receiver $479 @ the 'Egg. They also have a 50" 1080p Panasonic Plasma TV for $1300, but I have no idea if that's a good value or not.

I paid for it online last night. eBay charges the state sales tax automagically.

Yep, I got my Quad 12L Actives from him as well. He's a really good guy. The only downside is that I have to pay Taxachusetts because it's in-state. After much debate, I concluded it made more sense to replace my source and gain digital switching than it did to insert a volume control in my already-convoluted signal path. Currently it goes USB -> Edirol UA-5 -> Adcom GCD-750 -> Gilmore Lite -> Quads. The variable and fixed outputs on the Quad 99 will significantly signify things. Additionally, it upsamples and can accept 24/192 input. The only area where the Adcom exceeds the Quad (well, besides weight) is that it has four DACs and true balanced outputs. I am unsure on the sonic differences between the two units. It will be interesting to compare them.

Nate must have heard what you said. I found some top secret leaked spy photos of the mods he made:

Blah blah blah. Today is "Cyber Monday." There are supposedly a lot of online deals to be had. Post some.

Pre-emptive Same surname. Coincidence? It think not.

Quad 99 CDP-2. I am an idiot, I completely can't afford to buy this now. Not if I want to do frivolous things like eat and heat my home. On the plus side, I am no longer in need of a preamp.

Agile Birthday, Happy One!

Salty Birthday, Happy Peanuts!

Yep, that must be them. They appear to be quite impressive. 400,000JPY in 1988 is uh, $7500 today. They resell for a lot more than that, I imagine. The NSX10Ks are not quite as insane as the 150KG GF-1s, which were seven million yen a pair in 1991 (~$110,000 today). I actually do use all four. The other two are the fronts in my HT system. The odd man out is my 10-years-newer B&W CDN-CNT center channel speaker. It's funny looking, but it manages to hold its own sonically.

I have been waiting to use this macro.

3-driver. They do have fancy schmancy tweeters, and dome midrange drivers that purportedly bring a small fortune by themselves on the used market. For reasons not worth explaining, I have four NS1Ks, so I use two as my surround channels in my home theatre setup. Years ago I read about a Japanese-only NS-10,000, but I do not know if those really existed and if they had four or more drivers.
