I hear you. I have been quietly trolling for another pair of planars myself, but my wife will kill me if I drag another set of speakers home. I suppose I have about ten pair around the house at the moment. Ideally I'd have a large enough listening room to have SET/horns *and* solid state/planars, each system on casters or on opposite walls to listen to different types of music on. Newer acoustic or jazz sounds great on planars, but the older recordings (esp. on vinyl) just SING through the horns. I suppose that makes sense as the old ones were probably mastered on Altec or RCA monitors!
