B&W 805 D4: which 5 channel power amp should I go with (home theater): Parasound or Rotel
Just my two cents from your comment:   I might not add surrounds but I'd like to be future proof.     I can't imagine my Home Theater WITHOUT rear surround speakers.  I even have Front Surround in-wall speakers.  My setup is Left, Right, Ce... 
Good Speakers for Rock and Roll Under 15K
I know many have said them already, but I agree you can't go wrong with Klipsch or JBL.  
Please DM me to explain removing my posts
Good luck.  I have yet to figure out the rhyme or reason why some posts get removed and others do not.

@mightee -- I attempted to send you the information twice from the private message you sent me.  Let me know if you got it.  The Audiogon Mod notice popped up -- I believe because I included a phone number in the 1st attempted reply.  Audiogon doe...

In my hometown of Winston-Salem, NC, there were a couple of smoking deals listed last week that still may be available.  A trade in pair of Dynaudio Evoke 20's in Walnut, mint condition with loaded stands for $1,750; and a set of Fyne Audio 501SP ...

Gadd’s riff on that song is iconic. And the rest of the band? Holy crap! Tony "Stickman" Levin (King Crimson, Liquid Tension Experiment, Peter Gabriel) on bass and Eric Gales on guitar. Simon opened the pocketbook for his touring band.

Does it bother you when you see inflated MSRP’s for used gear on AG?
My favorite "ad copy" nowadays (and it cracks me up that nobody even TRIES to be original, they just retype what has been used a thousand times before):   "RARE Vintage (fill in the blank piece of gear -- usually Realistic, BIC, or White Van Spe... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
@calvinj -- Perfect analogy...."Nastiness on steroids". Switch out the "Clear Juice" in the hypo with Morphine and Xanax. Watch them go from "Troll Warriors" to "Space Cowboys" in a heartbeat. I for one am all for that.  
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
This question does not even need to be asked to know the answer. The aura of anonymity and the "Keyboard Warrior" mentality has created the perfect storm for people to be complete and utter asswipes online. Things are said behind the "protection" ...

Volume Problem Trouble Shooting Ideas?
@wolf_garcia -- A BIG amen on the "simply amazing sounding".  On top of that, Dennis is very easy to reach via email AND he responds in a pretty quick time frame.  He also monitors the Forums specializing in his gear and answers questions and give... 
Rediscovery
I just recently bought a Cambridge Audio CXC Transport and CA DacMagic 100 specifically to revisit my CD collection.  I love it.  I also listen primarily to Progressive Rock, Progressive Metal, and Progressive Death Metal.  A lot of fantastic new ... 
Volume Problem Trouble Shooting Ideas?
@wolf_garcia -- I also think it is not for the beginner in this hobby, but actually $4,000 is chump change compared to some of the amps I see for sale on this site.  A low-production, point to point wiring, handmade, signed and dated 300B amp made...
