And now, the retard's-eye-view of audio, as presented by duh-Mikey.

How much more than the $450 would I have to spend to get something as good
or better in today's market, and what recommendation of speakers would you
suggest ?

If you like the sound of the Jubal's and there's nothing available for the
same $450.00 that competes, then it's money well spent.

As insipid as that comment is, Mickey, I have to admit it's your own personal
zenith of insightfulness.

Here's a question for you: If somebody asked whether they should cross the
street while the signal says "Don't Walk" or wait until it changes to "Walk",
would you answer "It depends what the signal says"?
