Bi-amping - Low Frequency Drivers
I use four channels of a five channel amp to bi-amp right now. I did exactly what Albertporter recomends to give a little more slam to the low end since the speakers sound best a little further away from the wall. Each channel has an gain knob so ...

Salamander AV Rack
THe pull-out shelf would not be stable enough. With the plasma mount on the back of the rack you woulld free up space on top for a TT. THe best way would probably be a separate Single 20 though. THere are two media drawer options. THe less expensi... 
Guidance for speaker upgrade
If it opens into another room you will probably want a good sub with most speakers. With your equipment I would think about a used pair of NHT 3.3's. They would give you what you want and allow placement against the wall (designed to be placed aga...

amp/preamps for matin logan summits
Audition a YBA integrated amp if you get the chance. You may even be able to get away with one of the less expensive lower powered models since the Summits use amplified woofers.Parasound is a good affordable way to go as well.Good luck!

I would be afraid of what an MMPI would reveal about the audiophile community. People who sit alone in dark basements listening to obscure recordings of even more obscure artists. :) 
Achieving audio system synergy

Advice on Budget System?
The VSA speakers are reasonably efficient. Power should not be a huge concern. Any of the above should be adequate. I like the NAD and the Musichall should be good too. The Cambridge amplifiers are a little bright with the VSA speakers. THe NAD ma...

Fiddler,Well, technically marijuana is not illegal. You simply have to have the appropriate stamp from the government in order to posses it legally. THe thing is that there are no such stamps in existance therefore... marijuana is illegal.Semantic... 
What don't you like about these speakers?
The VR-2's are a very good speaker. They do not have the last word in deep bass but what is there is very detailed when set-up properly. To get the best out of them you need a little latitude in placement. To get the bass right, the imaging right,...
