| Which is better: separates or receiver? I think that Onhwy61 misses the mark ... a carefully matched system does not need a dedicated room with sound treatment to reach higher than a lesser receiver based system!!! The room IS important, but not likely to mask the difference between sys... | |
| Theatre Bypass Mod for CJ Preamp? Streetman - almost forgot to address your question. I recently had to do what you propose for a short time. The only link that was needed between the processor and DVD was digital. The analog outs went to the pre amp for stereo. WARNING - most mas... | |

| Best of value-based systems Introduction of the the new NT line of B&W CDM series speakers is sure to drive the giant killer CDM1SE down to the "bargian" region. I'd put these speakers up against most anything ... electrostats included. Set these up on good stands with a... | |
| Monitor or floorstanding? In general, I've found that when comparing floor standing vs monitor on a dollar for dollar basis there are fwer sonic trde offs in the monitor speaker. I am not familiar with the speakers you mention, but as a long time user of several different ... | |
