Those are some massive speakers! Good to see another user of Audiophile Optimizer and Windows Server. I am planning to build a CAPS soon.

I also see you have some 8th Nerve products? You must have bought those a looong time ago as I believe the company is out of business? I still have of their stuff in the box in the garage that I never got around to using.
