There is hope for the Maple Shade, my Siltech aren't all that thick and the bass response is excellent.

Spearitsound has the MAP-1 and matching 5-channel amp for $4490.00 the pair new and that may include shipping. Jack Tozzi will answer your McCormack questions. His side kick that sometimes helps answer email isn't very informative but Jack usually is and he isn't afraid to tell it straight. Of course, the Rotel might already be there and the McCormack probably throws some heat. They may shoot you a deal on just the MAP1 though.

My sub is out and I have some other expenses to deal with so if you are even remotely interested in my Primare PM me an offer. It does have video but the analog is very good. In fact, going to Marantz was a step down in sound quality. Looking back if I knew then what I know now I wish I had bought a better BD player with decoding and bass management and stuck with the 31.7's analog input. I have two remotes
