| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? BDP-85 which has a top flight DAC chip set. If anything, I would say slightly more detail. The Marantz sound is easy and smooth, some say too smooth. I like the versatility of the Oppo as i have a handful of SACD's as well. I'm not a videophile bu... | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? Good thought but I went he universal route with an Oppo one box solution, for now anyway.... | |
| klipsch speakers I agree with Ozzy. If volume is all that matters, Cerwin Vegas will fit the bill nicely, probably on the cheap as well. While Klipsch can certainly play loud, they are a more "musical" speaker that I have a certain reverence for. Certainly, if you... | |
| Opinions needed on some Klipsch for 2 channel The Forte's will treat you right. I had the Forte II's recently and loved them, best Klipsch speaker of many I have owned. However the Mrs. and I went our separate ways and I needed to relinquish some valued audio gear :( | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? Well, I just snagged a mint Opportunity universal player for the one box solution angle. I can always add the day down the road. Thank you all for the great input! | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? Great information, I do appreciate the advise and will consider very carefully... | |

| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? Thank you all for the responses above. I have some great food for thought... | |
| DEDICATED CD PLAYER $1K AND UNDER, THOUGHTS? The Vault sounds interesting but the idea of "ripping" 900+ cd's sounds daunting to me... | |
| Changes that made a difference (in order of effect). First and foremost, speaker positioning. Some are more sensitive to that than others obviously. Next amplification and source, fairly close. Cables, interconnects, meh..... | |
| Missing the Old Days I's second the Klipsch, especially the new Forte III. They can really rock yet are very detailed... | |
| Looking for speaker suggestions I have new Forte III's and am very impressed. The best Klipsch speaker I have owned of 4 different pair. Never owned Heresy's but would like to some time. I agree, the Triton Series from GoldenEar are excellent and excel with jazz. Some find the r... | |
| Sister's wants music system without the hassles! MESCH hit the nail on the head I believe. The Yamaha A-S801 is as complete an integrated is there( and nice looking in silver) is with nice reviews as well. I have said Onkyo cd player I bought as a "back up" a few months ago, it's still in servic... | |
| good integrated amps that don't include a phono section or a DAC If you don't mind used a Naim Nait5i sounds great (owned one and miss it). Rega Elex R used can be found for around 1k +/-. Wonderful amp. You have some nice recommendations above as well. | |
| Horn based loudspeakers why the controversy? Well, being an owner of new Klipsch Forte III's, I thought I'd chime in. Had Magnepan .7's for awhile and really liked them. In my listening area I knew I was only getting about 75% of what they could deliver because of space considerations. Took ... |
