O.k....I can agree with all of this very last statement of yours.

The ONLY part that still confuses me is how some of the same people that
are complaining about how high the cost of r390's et al have gone up - are
the very same people that think   that well over $ 300 is acceptable for
two speakers on a rack panel with runny paint and a cardboard box.

^ - This just slays me. Really.

Anyways; thanks to everyone for thier good wishes and humorous dialogs.
