If re-sale was top priority for me, I would have gone with McIntosh, with their great following, but that sound is not for me. And regarding my 996TT, at first I replaced the Bose system (how they convinced Porsche is beyond me) with JL Audio C7 3 way. But even compared to my BMW's Focal K2 system, the Utopia M's are in a class by themselves, IMHO.

Hehe yeah im not worried about resale ive had this setup for years and i enjoy the full bodied warmth of tube amps.

LOL, but it makes my life more expensive. If my hearing was less, I won't have to buy such high end stereos.

I updated the PCM to a Pioneer head unit not because I wanted a booming stereo, I could not change the date on the PCM and it drove me nuts.

When I was but a wee young lad, I had a stereo in my Sirocco that when turned up, would make quarters dance on the roof...

This, most likely contributed to the problem I have now.

YES!

My thinking exactly...

I wonder how high you'd have to lift it in order to get those tyres on it...

Probably about a foot. Imagine the ride quality.
