Thanks for responses. I have also considered the CA's and 9100 but I'm not sure yet about anything. I have heard alot of stuff from the AT 831's I like so that was my reasoning there (and wanting stealth capabilities!). I see that the cables come's "unterminated", I am asuming that means there is no connection and you fix it??? if so, what is nice to use, xlrm and then a Y cable to 3.5m into the R-09? I am very appreciative of all responses! one other concern is getting enough BASS... I hear alot of recordings where bass could be alot better...any suggestions?
THANKS AGAIN!
edit- I am actually listening to a show right now done with CA's and 9100 and the bass sounds pretty sweet, I am diggin' it
