That sounds awesome. I want in!
It's funny, with my old system I first picked the speakers (Magnepan MMG) and built everything around that until I realized that since they're so inefficient and require a beefy power amp, I can't do any real isolation from the mains. In my experience, the power source is ultra-critical and a noisy one will render everything else crap. I've tried every type of power conditioning except batteries and a regenerator, and neither of those are possible with an amp that can do the MMG's justice. That was my first real attempt at building a good system. This time I'm starting from the power source and building everything around that. Experience rules. :)
Specifically what would you suggest for battery-powered amp and horn speakers to start out? Say, less than $3K?
