Flo, have you looked at the mini-Mags at all? I know that you are more into the "hi end" 2.0 systems, but have you checked out the MMGW's at all? These are more in my price range. They seem like they would work well in an HT system. I know the 5 ohm load is stretching my receiver out a bit, but when I spoke to a rep he assured me that because it's a 5 ohm load accross the spectrum at any wattage that I'd be safe. Was that a line just to get me to buy them or is it a truth? Have you listen to these at all?
