    Crossover impedance

    <font color='#000000'>Connect the 4 ohm resistor in series with the 4-ohm midrange to get 8 ohms. &nbsp;That resistor should have sufficient power handling ability. &nbsp;Since it gets half the voltage going to the mids, it will heat up during operation.</font>

    New speakers for a/v room

    <font color='#000000'>The E90 seems better. &nbsp;I would imagine that model is more expensive of the two. &nbsp;If you can afford it,go for it. &nbsp;I would further suggest that you audition it at home with your other JBl speakers to make sure they share the same timbre which, if they belong...

    B&W back speakers

    <font color='#000000'>I would suggest the B&amp;W 805 which is compact enough for the rears and should share the sanme timbral qualities of your 802 for a more seampless surrround soundfield. Just my 2 cents.</font>

    <font color='#000000'>Rob, It makes you wonder if there's any truth to the claim of expensive gear makers that their &nbsp;transport only players have lasers and mechanisms that extract the 0s and 1s better, more accurately or more completely than other digital players.</font>

    Paper-thin CD Replacement in 5 Years?

    <font color='#000000'>I think paper-thin CDs would expose the media to more breakage risk. those new high resolution multichannel formats will probably take over within the next 5 years as the mainstream media of choice the way CDs did to LPs.  Hopefully, new forms of more robust storage media...
