Never were more true words spoken.... Thanks for the info about the amps. The size of the Cyrus really does appeal, and the fact that I used to desperately want one in my earlier years... Will start the trawl of eBay! Good idea on the TV, though with the amount of fiscal approvals the current one went through, I'm not sure I've got the energy to repeat! Thanks for all the info.
