Very nice! Which amp do you like the best? The Creek or the Plinius? Love the look of the Epic's...ever though of getting the Elan's?

Tough call, I'd have to say it's a toss up. If the the Brio-R had more oomph I'd take the sound over either the Creek or the Plinius. The Plinius has a bit more punch where as the Creek is smoother and laid back

Actually have thought about the Elan's but I'm afraid it'd be too much of a sideways move. I'm wanting to move away from the EPOS but there are so many many choices.

Still considering a new pair of PMC's. I just like their sound. The Canton's you mention have my curiosity piqed.

I'll probably flamed but my mainstay is CD's. I already have too many directions to go and tweaking to do!

Thank you both by the way.

Those Epos are a beautiful looking speaker, I like the slabs too.

Nice setup......I actually am interested in the Epic 5's, but you are right, there is so much out there speaker wise.

I am a few yrs away from making a speaker upgrade.

One can take anything away from a review that they want but as much as I'd like to have the 5's, I've read that they can be a bit boomy in the bass.

I don't have that much room to work with so I'll venture a guess and say they would overpower my room.

I may have something new in the next few months.

Thanks Rome, inexpensive Techcraft bought at HHGregg. $200 and a breeze to put together. Fairly good weight limits on the 2 bottom shelves also, 65# apiece. I can't remember the top right now but it handles a pretty hefty load.

I was kind of leery going to HHGregg but they've seemed to have changed their MO. They were attentive but not pushy, cordial, and just all around pleasant.

Place is looking nice. The Creek (Destiny I hope, not Dynasty as in your signature) should be a great match for your speakers.
