RE:RE:RE:WHAT? leodevoe admits to gambling.To be honest those two products are what a home theatre guy would buy for audio. I wouldn't buy an amp that did 2-8 channels. The towers are best heard with a 5.1 setup. And I don't think they are a good match. The final straw at $15K there are far better speaker values out there. But every audio choice is personal and I am a bit of a purist. Also, the source and DAC do make a huge difference.
