I am not an expert either but I am not the least bit worried about it. Your post did seem somewhat pessimistic but there is (arguably) solid reasoning behind your statements. Unfortunately all of those issues cannot be addressed in the budget I am working with. Hell, even $100k speakers have compromises somewhere. This is a slow forum but it is dedicated to a narrow niche but has some of the best support we could hope for (both in knowledge and willingness to share that knowledge). I have thick skin and I knew you were trying to be helpful so I did not think much of it. If anything we covered the same topics in a differernt way that hopefully might give someone else a greater perspective for their next project. One nice thing about the slowness of this forum is that it makes everythng easily digestable to newcomers compared to some of the other forums that have hundreds of posts on a single topic.

We are all here to learn (that probably goes for the smart ones on the board too).
