Bout time! I've been talking to ol' Ed 'Herson' Gein via email and he told me he finally got rid of his little Pod speakers and upgraded to some B&W 603's! Finally after various $200 optical cables and thousands of dollars spent on magical tweaks, gadgets, and pixie snot he finally realized that we were right and new speakers was all he needed.

He'll be on later with pictures and details.
