and it depends... what's your sub/amp setup now?! I'd go for upgrading sub and amp if you have none or a non-noticeable one. 'Tis a tough decision though.

I bet that in two years you'll still be able to buy a sub.

I would say if you can't afford either don't buy either credit cards are expensive

There are things that do the same thing as the empeg, and cheaper too. There is nothing on the market that does what the empeg does, as easily and as well.

msaeger: can I be a member of the Insta-Poll Victims' Network ? :-)

IPVN is dedicated to seeking redress for the countless citizens who have fallen victim to the involuntary reflex of thwacking their foreheads (often accompanied by a loud "D'Oh!") with their wrists when they hear a supposed NEWS organization solicit consumers to participate in a "non-scientific" poll. Of course, the news outlet will then publicize the results of this so-called "poll" without regard for the well-being of sensitive citizens who understand that the "poll" is just so much hooey.

IPVN class-action plaintiffs can usually by recognized by the deep, purple, lateral bruise on their foreheads.

I can't believe that one is ahead of the Sub in the poll.

What good is a spare empeg (or a first empeg for that matter) if you don't even have a sub to listen through?

I'd say be sensible; yes, you won't be able to buy an empeg from us when they've all run out, but I'm sure you could probably pick one up on ebay if you ended up *really* needing one - like if yours got stolen (knowing ebay, you might even be able to buy your own one back...)

It might not be pristine, and having a hot-spare is nice, but unless yours gets stolen it's unlikely to become damaged beyond repair (ie, nothing a new HDD or new display won't fix)

It's really a trick question can't have one w/o the other...but times being as they are the first one is the correct one.

Honest. Oxymoron like that can be found only with you, guys! (I do remember recommending to a customer cheaper version of a product we were selling, but only because I guessed they didn't have budget for the more expensive one, so this does not qualify.)

I think it's a "greatest good of the greatest number" issue... 3000 people with one empeg each add up to much more amortized overall worldwide listening pleasure than 1500 people with two each.
