Excellent plan Buck. Back in the day, taking delivery on 3 D'Agostino Momentum Monoblocks for the 2ch/theater room, I was caught off guard and was ill prepared for the question of "what did they cost us"? They were great amps though at a fraction of the $2.2M price tag. Once the music started playing, the price became irrelevant.

Wouldn’t work that way. She’d just say that if we can afford that, then we can afford that place on the beach in Hawaii.

The beach house in Hawaii would be an excellent venue for a brand new audio system. Everybody wins!!!!
