Patrick Butler posts on the B&W thread and he is a great asset. I bet he will be helpful. I have eight B&W speakers between the 2 channel and the HT and all were picture perfect. Just luck of the draw sometimes. Sorry for your situation. Patrick - Where are you?

Mainly burning the midnight oil on a business trip to NYC.

What's happening?

Oops. Been a few days since I checked in, too.

I have been out of town so I haven't had a chance to do anything about it. I screwed it all back together before I left, though!
