I have a feeling that this "authorized dealer" is trying to SELL you something instead of trying to HELP you make a good decision.
While you have no idea of who is trying to HELP you here, you must research each reply, and use the ones you feel give you the most benefit. Just remember, everyone here is trying to HELP you.
With that in mind, I purchased my last set of Cerwin Vega speakers in 1985. I still own them today. Back then, I was the guy who had the baddest home stereo. The problem was, no-one had anything better to compare it to.
Today, I am still the guy with the baddest stereo in my small group of friends. But trust me, there are MILLIONS/BILLIONS that are better.
My old Cerwins sound like (rap, as do new ones. It's a fact.
