| Jadis/Spendor system Have you tried any of the older Spendors like the S8 or S6. They were what the new "e" series replaced. They were beter speakers in my opinion. I would trade for a pair of S8's personaly. There is nothing wrong with the S5e but they do sound kind ... | |
| 12yr old NAD receiver or new? The new NAD C720BEE is a great receiver for future flexability (A+B speaker outputs, dual zone capability). Plus it sounds good too. If it has extra inputs that you are not going to use you can simply ignor them (that is not where the extra $$$ in... | |
| DENON DVD-5910: anyone heard it, or bought it yet? Good player. Not overwhelming for the money though. Great build quality. Not a terribly logical OSD.

However, if you want a flat pannel and are thinking about a Comercial version you may want to talk to an ISF guy. Some of the comercial displays are the same as Consumer without bells and whistles... | |
| Anyone try center backs this way???????........ If you are using cheap receiver and cheap speakers this may (and does in some rooms) work very well. It gives a more diffuse soundfield in the rear if you are sitting in close proximity to the surround speakers.For good mid-fi or high-end componen... | |
| Center Ch help. I have heard some apparently mismatched center/main set-ups that sound very good in spite of speaker design differences. If you do not watch movies that much and are not terribly critical of the sound coming out of your center channel you could ge... | |

| Looking for quality CD changer Another vote for the Sony 555. Good double-duty player. Video processing features are great and disc change while in random play mode is about as fast as you can expect. SACD playback a plus as well. | |
