Open baffle speakers, like my recommendation (Emerald Physics KCIIs) don’t need no stinkin center channel

The upgraded KCIIs with carbon fiber drivers is available for $1999, delivered.
I agree with all who mentioned Vandersteen and Magnepan. I have MMGs in one system and 2CE Sig2s in another. Both are stellar at a lower price point. I would agree the Magnepans need quality power to sound thier best. I use a Parasound A21 amp.
I am also in search of a portable speaker for traveling what are some good options...
