Bob Reina reviewed the Studio L880 very favorably at $1400/pr last September, and they're also listed in the most recent Recommended Components:

I just saw that Buy.com is selling the same speakers (black finish) for $630/pr. Shipping is $100/pr, but that's still only $730/pr shipped:
My question may be based on a misunderstanding of basic electricity so please correct me if I have the fundamentals wrong.
My understanding is that watts is a measurement of electrical power, the actual work that can be performed. We can obtain more electrical power by increasing either the current or the voltage.
Fuses are rated in amps. Most fuses for household items are 250V. We are told that we can use 250V fuses of the same amperage rating for our nominal 120V circuits.
Thus, if I need a 5 amp fuse for an amplifier I get a 250V 5 amp fuse.
