You are proof to the point that one does not need to spend big money to get great sound! Many people spend that much on little toy all-in-one junk systems at Best Buy and Circut City just because they did not have someone like you to talk to before they spent their hard earned cash, Great job Chubz!
With any luck you will be able to swing a somewhat larger room in the future so the Maggies have a little more room to breath.
