Has anyone checked with Jude to see if he might want to make an appearance? That would make the meet all the sweeter. 

I would love to do any form of get together. The earliest I will be home from school is December 21st and will be home until January 20th. Anywhere within 40 miles of Northville and I will be happy to show up.

I would love to come. I have missed the past 3 meets because I haven't been home. Im at school right now, but will be home for six weeks for winter break.

Thanks! And they claim it is supposed to increase imaging, and it was better than most movie theater sound systems ive heard, but I was trying to get an outside opinion on how "good" it really is comparatively speaking.

So I didn't know if this would count as speakers, but I guess it is close enough. I went as saw a movie last night, Oblivion, and the speakers was the new Dolby system with 64-channel surround sound. It is safe to say that is the most expensive audio "set-up" I have listened to. I was just...

Even though swans are a bit hard to find, they are still top notch products with great fit and finish. I love my m200mkiii's but if your looking for more bass, get the m50w. Just a note, the audio insider has expensive shipping. The original price of 430 on the m200mkiii's was up to 495 with...

Not that it is an issue, but why just those brands? Many companies make exceptional speakers.

Just make sure you follow the set-up directions because monitor tweeters are really directional.

Okay, the more expensive the monitor type speaker, the (for the most part) more sterile it will sound. So the Adams will be more sterile than the Audioengine's because the Adams are made for more professional purposes. I don't know what you plan to use them for, but take in mind that other...

Just a side note, what do you plan to use them mostly for?

I cant make it to the event. I have to go tour Grinnell to see if I want to attend. Its too bad I cant make it because I know it will be gobs of fun

Well if you plan to do any audio editing/ need studio monitors, go for the behringers. But if you want a gorgeous pair of speakers that sound good with a warmer sound, the swans is what I would go for. Although, with a $100 difference, that choice is up to you in the end.

If you pick up a pair of swan m200mk3 new, it will be around $500 with shipping, not leaving a ton of room for a sub. I have no clue what they sell for used. I love mine dearly but the tweeters are really directional which some people don't prefer

The pickings for places in Northville are pretty scarce. There are some threads around here (on head-fi) for audio shops for southeast michigan.

In addition to amplification, what is the size of the room that you aim to use them in and type of music that you intend to use them for.
