Hi there Max. Ok,the sad truth: I doubt a speaker change is all you need. As I read thru your list of components---I see you need most everything;cables included. There is so much you're not hearing. I would be looking for some giant killer pieces... 
Krell Master Reference Amplifier
Thanks Paul. I think yours was an enlightening observation. I'm sure many are paying more and not getting that much more. In "drag-racing" speak, I think you put "negative poster"-- "back on the trailer". 
Do You Remember Your First Music Purchase?
Well up to this point I love most everybody's first purchase. Most all of those were favs. of mine.--While my older siblings bought records that we all listened to; "my" first record purchase was the 78 of Les Paul/Mary Ford; "The World Is Waiting... 
What Makes Good Video
On the video bit rate; the #'s aren't all there is to a great dvd player. My Arcam fmj27 has 11 for that spec. A good part of why you buy a good dvd player has to do with how large an immage it will be reproducing. If you are feeding it to a 30/36... 
Next Level Budget Upgrade
Hey,Cam. Your ears may not suck,but you may be deaf, huh? -- Ok. mom never taught me how to be nice (she tried tho.)---What your condition is is what one might call beginner's ears. /or untrained ears.-- The more you become familar with equipment-... 
Choral or Classical Vocal Recordings - Must Have
John Rutter's own Requium. I have it on an HDCD sampler. 
Budget musical sub: sealed or vented design....
Dear Phasecorrect; ANY sub in an apt. is just begging to piss off those near your unit.(Above/ below / beside) BASS is the only thing they will hear,most likely. If you can hear it; they can hear it. Like the subs in those mini trucks; It is loude... 
Low Fi / Mid Fi / High Fi ?
Ok,everything I have is better than what anyone else has--(YES!!!)--Now seriously folks: In today's market I would say most all the stuff CC has would be lo-fi. I would say Rotel,Sony,NHT, and the lke would be mid-fi. Then the expensive stuff woul... 
Good Classical discs for "beginners"
Buy,rent something classical on lazer / dvd.Seeing; the visual helps some. I sort of cut my teeth on the great library available on lazer disc.Some,instead of the orchestra; have great scenery. Beethoven's 9th, Rachmaninoff (Herbert Von Karajan &a... 
Worthwhile $5 Tweak
I got your non grounded amps---Ever get a static shock on a dry windy day;when touching your non grounded amp?? 
Long v. short
Some spakers will benifit from their distance to the corners. i.e.better bass reinforcement. The long wall won't give you this unless you want your speakers 15 ft. appart. Then you would have to be sitting way back. It requires some fiddling to av... 
Has audiophilia changed your music taste?
For me it's hearing all the music I used to love;but had junk for a system at the time. So now I still love that same music,but now I hear so much more of what was recorded. 
Heavy speaker shipment
How fortunately you can't use Bax. I have used them twice. Twice they damaged the goods;twice they refused the claim. In both cases we're talking forklift caused damage. 
HD receiver..
How to get your HD signal---- With cable,you only have to subscribe to the programming.--Means no extra charge for the HD box.i.e. HBO/Sho---same price no matter SD or HD.---Sat. works the same way--pay for the programming; the HD or SD;same price... 
Thank You, to the Person Who Helped You the Most.
For me that would be Joejr. And Jeff. Thanks, guys.
