If considering the Tice, by all means move to the front of the line and get the Powerblock 3C series. Build quality and sonics are next-generation. It will leave the Chang in the dust, and you'll never think twice about it. The Elite is old and not of the same class - I own the Elite 4 and the 3C-HP, and while the sonics of the Elite are also great, it's not nearly in the same class as the 3C series. The Powerblock 3C will come up on Audiogon every couple of months, so keep an eye out for it.
