Very true and I hope so as well. I doubt I will ever have a home to
myself again, but a duplex is definite possible and I could probably
exercise the system in something like that.

I never have looked seriously at the market, but I always wanted
something BIG, like ported 18"s or something, but I knew that was more
of a pipedream than reality. The 10" I have is very good for movies and
such, but I don't think it really added a lot to the music I listen
too, but I also am not sure if I ever gave it a chance to air-out.

I just watched Audiophiliac's episode about large speakers and he has
those Cornwall IV's and I was drooling just looking at them. But like
you, I can't afford a pair (yet - I will always leave a bit of hope
that someday I will).

I have found that I really can enjoy a decent set of headphones or
IEM's. Sure you don't have the chest slapping bass, but it is still a
very satisfying experience and it doesn't annoy anyone (except the
person knocking on the door that you can't hear).
