Timchen, I will be glad to help you out on this one. The 40's are way too big and cumbersome. You will not enjoy them at all. I have a pair of the Harbeth Compact 7ES on order, which would be much more managable and less power hungry. In the spirit of brotherly love, I would be willing to trade you, even. Like the old Bud commercials, "I LOVE you, man!" [:)] Enjoy. Charlie
