Ah...that makes a big difference IMO - though really I think the study

be a waste of money going for anything other than the Rios using
internal amps - afer all, I don't image you spend _that long_ in either
location.
Out of interest, are you using externals in the other locations because
you were unhappy with the Rio amps, or simply because you had systems
already in place at those locations and you just needed the Rios to act
as additional sources?
