I currently have a set of these on the way from the manufacturer. Since i blew all of my cash on the speakers and had to sell all of my other stuff just to be able to afford them, i'll be forced to power them with my old 15 wpc Advent receiver hooked up via some 18 gauge zipcord for speaker wire. Using my first generation Sanyo CD player and my Zenith turntable as sources, i'm sure hoping that what people say about speakers is true. They BETTER be the most important part of the system or else i'm screwed !!!! : ) Sean >
