well its 1030 he and his wife just left and as you can see I still have my evo's, lol... He is going to trade them in for a pair of sonus books and a single sub, not sure which one probably a rel, he's giving up the amp and using another one he has had for years.... he actually read this post when i showed it to him and said I could have them for 9k if i wanted them, but I honestly don't get caught up in the "name game" I know my 2.2 system sounds better {to me} and it was only a few thousand dollars, sierra towers a pr of uls15s, an xsp1, and pair of emo mono blocks is only $7k and sounds more too my liking.... its all in what you like, we spent a few hours listening to music tonight in my front parlor and he said he admitted he enjoyed my system more than his, but in all fairness, he kind of bought them speakers after listening for 15 minutes, in a tiny room sitting 5 ft from them, an investment like that i would have them come and set them up for a week to see how i liked them in my room with my music.. He kind of just figured he bought his ht there and enjoyed that so why not the music system, problem is ht and music are super different, I am not at all critical of ht, and music I am nothing but... i love my ht setup--- for ht, for music, it is not ideal, the subs aren't as dialed and they are too aggressive and loose, the 340s are great ht speakers, but nothing to look at {although they do sound warm and accurate enough for music} the placement is not as good as it could be because its a room we live in, my music rooms are pretty much that, for music...
but anyway he is going to trade them in for a $15 set of bookshelf speakers and a sub, not sure what they are going to give him but he bought them there so he should do fine...
