The GM with the subs. can sound like studio 54 with tons of bass, play hard rock concerts that will make you think your are there and yet give you goose bumps with classical playing violins or vocals. The Elipsa's in my opinion do not need a sub. and they sound great with everything, if you can find a pair these will sound better than the B&W 802's for 1/2 the price.
1KW...A friend came over recently who owns Wilson Sasha's. He asked me to play Deep Purple's Machine Head very loud. I could see he thought it was going to trip the Strads up. Great was my joy when I saw his jaw drop to the floor. It sounded glorious in all its rawness. Rock on
