You could be the first to introduce HT setup for small boats. (M80 in front, VP150 in the back and QS8 on a mast moving left/right/left/right...) No, seriously, this is annoying and I sympathize with you.

Now that's funny. I know how you feel brother, I felt the same way when I got notice that my setup was coming in. The only pieces missing were the speaker cables. Doh!!! I have the same setup (+EP500) and love it. enjoy it when it finally arrives!

I'm waiting for a comment from Peter on leathery port holes and finger tests to this one.

Well the rest of the stuff came in today and I took them home and hooked the fronts up real quick for lunch. They sounded great for the first 5 min........then my old ass onkyo shut down. I guess it dont like the 4ohm load....and me running it at full clip for a few min. Guess I now need a new reciever....something I wanted anyway. I could just get a emotiv amp since the TXDS676 has pre outs....I just dont know if when I hook a externial amp to it...will I still be able to run some outside speakers??

If it has a 4/6/8 Ohm switch, set it to 8 Ohms and see if it still shuts down. Why were you running it at full clip?

After I typed that I figgured it would be taken wrong...I dont mean full clip as in the amp was clipping. I mean full clip like as loud as I feel it should/could go....not over driving the speakers...but loud enough to spook the dogs.
There is no switch for ohms...the manual says 6 ohm min...I am just guessing it cant take it loud for long.

I wish I had your problem. I could then justify an A1400 .

It would be a better problem if I didnt just build a house and buy a bunch of other goodies. My HT system is/was about 7 years old and I am upgrading. I want to wait a little while before I get "the" new reciever/pre/pro...but I want something to tide me over.

We use DHL at work because they are cheaper than other places, but wow... I sent a package to my sister who lives in Dubuque, Iowa (about 3 hours east, and a little north of me). DHL sends it south and west on day 1, then WAY east on day two, just to have to send it back west to Dubuque. I don't know HOW they can be cheaper that UPS! I mean, if I had shipped UPS, my sister would have had the package yesterday instead of getting it tomorrow. Here is a picture of the package route so far. The blue box is where my sister lives.

It's the same as flying somewhere. The big planes only go between major cities. If you want to go from Buffalo to San Antonio, you get a small plane to Detroit, a big plane to Houston, and a small plane to San Antonio (2 chances to lose your luggage).
Your package has to go from your house to the closest Hub. Then it goes to the closest Hub to your sister. Then it goes to her. Looks like the Hub for your sister is in Kansas City, although Chicago might make more sense.
Maybe DHL is cheaper because they have fewer hubs. They drive more, but pay fewer people.

OK. So DHL says that the package I sent my sister, who lives 200 miles away, is supposed to get to her today, but I am not sure... It is now in Cedar Rapids, Iowa... About half way between where I live and where she lives, but like I mentioned before, it was in Ohio yesterday. So in order to travel a little more than 100 miles (half the distance), DHL took the package on a 1400 mile trip. I told my sister to ask the driver if the package comes with its own souvenirs since it clearly went on vacation. Blue box is where it is trying to get to. Red boxes are where it stopped along the way.
