Latinsamba, Thanks. I truly believe that the PS 845's are special (its the way the driver tube is coupled to the rest of the circuit), especially when driving a speaker like the hornings. Grip...

Paul, thanks for that info. Bill from SM tells me I should get GDR's for my stacked sevens. They do look pretty big, but he says that GDR's is a huge difference in sound compared to the UDR's....
