Has anyone NOT listened to their system for a long time?
I used to listen every night but the newborn has taken all my time so it's tough.  I hope to finish my secondary system in our family room so that even if I don't listen in my dedicated room, I still get good sounds.my secondary system is based on...

Yo TBoooe...How do you like your evos?  I've been eyeing one for some time now.

Downsizing
I have preference towards the new BW D3.  You might want to demo the 805d3.
