Is anyone else enjoying Monsoon desktop planars?

My desktop setup: IBM Thinkpad (with XP, WMP, and ASIO4ALL) > Trends DAC UD-10 via USB > Monsoon MM-2000. (While the MM-2000 is a 4.1, I use only the front planars and the woofer.)

My computer audio system is so simple. No interconnects. No changing CDs. I no longer have to deal with room acoustics; I can adjust speaker toe in & placement by just reaching out my arm!

(My previous system: Conrad Johnson MV-60 tube amp with NOS tubes, Creek passive preamp, Totem Arro's, Totem cabling, Scott 310-E tuner, Rega Apollo.)

I am wondering what setup others are utilizing with their Monsoon planars?

They're great. I have a pair on my desktop and use them with a subwoofer. They've outlived three PCs so far.

Yes the Monsoons and sub sound great. Too bad they went under. Maybe someone will revive them. They look like little Maggies. I always wondered if they would make larger floor ones.
