Hey there JKalman,
Hang in there, the new studiotec 130 screen will be akin to listening to your SME vs. a bad cd player. One is etched and bright, the other is smooth and natural! Great choice! You won't be dissapointed.
You have an long to-do list.... get on it! We are eagerly awaiting seeing the finished room! I'm sure it will be worth the effort as you seem to be taking all the correct steps.
best of luck
Nate
