Thanks. I am happy with it, and now want to take it a step forward with boxes, but frankly is been harder than expected so far. The B&W 800s, although you can find many better boxes in absolute terms, when you put it in relative terms, extra gain vs extra cost, are harder to beat than I anticipated. They represent really great value.

Do you find the CR1s to be on the bright or forward side of boxes, or more warmer style?

The idea of a big small speakers or big monitors better said, is growing on me given extra benefit of flexibility regarding placemen on complicated rooms.
