I am not and probably never will be a convertible person. Too much wasted weight in the car for my liking. I like rigid coupes or even 4 doors only. Anyway, the JLAudio seems like a good bet like you said.

BTW, I do hear some differences between B&W and some other speakers though I cannot really describe these differences - I do not know whether I should call it cracking or something like - too harsh a word for it. Sort of like some of my wine friends not being able to put into words what I think they experience. I may have overemphasised my non-audiophile credentials but everything that was sounding better than B&W was more expensive. And a couple of them that were slightly better in some aspects lacked in other and given the lengths I would have to go to test other speakers, the availbility of dealerships willing and nice enough to play something, as well as time to do all of that resulted in me just biting the bullet. But to put things in perspective, as of November 30, 1999, I did not know what even a receiver was - I could only relate to it to the extent I could relate it back to my purely academic knowledge of physics. As for the sub, I just went with what you told me - by that time, I was just going crazy with the choices available and decided that I was going to stick to one brand. So, (and you will be horrified by this), I did most of my research on the amazon.com website. ACtually initially my wife was leading the project. And like everything else, I get a bit too involved if I start looking into it so I stopped short of even starting on the path of yet another expensive hobby. Though I guess if I did do my research a bit more carefully I may have gotten something better for the same price. i may also not be as satisfied as I am now. Knowing more about what else is out there.... can be dangerous especially to my wanting to experience the best self.

also, hasnt B&W done something in the latest DM2 600 series to its cones etc. Anyway I am not sure.

Thanks again for your advice.
