I've heard both of these units and thought they both sounded great, but they were in different cities on different systems. Has anyone compared these? I like the _looks_ of the Icon but for $200 more? On the other hand it's got more snob appeal. :-| My speakers are Spica Angelus, my Onkyo receiver will be replaced after graduation with a good amplifier (haven't decided which one yet). (I wouldn't mind suggestion here either.) Thanks, Kevin Sullivan
