    "Unlike CMS’ ultra-pricey top models, a four-tier SV system with shelves costs just $4500 ($5500 if you’d like it in black). That’s right: the SV is one-tenth the price of the top-line model." good addition Mike.

    Re: Suncoast Audio welcomes Critical Mass Systems

    The Center Stage footers get a lot of positive reviews as well. Has anyone had the chance to give them a listen? Wonder how they compare to Stillpoints?
