BW Nautilus 802, blow away Nautilus 803
When I heard the 802's, the rest of the system was not well chosen, so at that listening they were bright. I have N805's and have gotten excellent results, but they can be described as slightly "polite". Have you found the 802's to have any more s... 
Acurus ACT3 vs B K Ref 20
Haven't compared both, but I don't believe the Act3 has an analogue pass through, if that is important to you. 
Stereophile "coverage"
If they put a relatively inexpensive Denon receiver, or a set of computer speakers on the cover, there are lots of complaints, if they put $36,000 Krell speakers on the cover...lots of complaints, talk about you can't please all of the people all ... 
Hate to ask......
Jwong, You can still get excellent 5 channel sound quality from the same companies that make your 2 channel gear. It is a fact that Classe takes as much care with the two channel analogue sections of their 5 channel gear as in their dedicated 2 ch... 
Hate to ask......
Hi everyone, good to see you posting again Tireguy, well... I hear the best of 2 channel audio frequently, and use it as a benchmark for my HT set-up. I try to attain the best of both worlds because of space and budget constraints. I recently upgr... 
B&W Nautilus Tweeter Grills - Lose 'em
G13, thanks for the tip. Can't say I'll rush over and start messing with my 805's today, but when the time is right perhaps I'll take the plunge. In the meantime, I just switched over to the Musical Fidelity HT600 5 channel amp, and a B&K pre-... 
Pet Stories
I found a 10 month old Doberman when I was 16 (named Patton,long story) and brought him home. He could find his way to anything and chew through it. So... my shoes, jackets, pillows, papers, anything, were all fair game. I had my guitar on a stand... 
Center Channel needs to handle bass?
If you eventually get into 5 channel audio, (SACD...DVD-A) you will want all speakers to handle bass well if possible. For all practical purposes, make sure that your center can get down to at least 60 Hz, and preferably 40 Hz. The perception that... 
Sony 9000ES DVD owners, Help me Please
I have only tried one CD-R on my Sony which didn't work, so...I posted this a few days ago in another thread. "I bought a $25 Sony portable CD player at their outlet, stuck it on top of three Vibrapods, got Radio Shacks' 1/8 to rca adapter,added s... 
Which 5 ch Amp for Home Theater?
If you can find it discounted, the Musical Fidelity HT600 can easily withstand comparison to Classe or Krell. 
Which 5 ch Amp for Home Theater?
That's a bit like asking "what car should I drive", manybrands will work well. What size is the room? Will this set up double as a stereo system? What sort of music do you like? What about the pre-pro, it should be well matched to the amp? What pr...

Does EVERY component need break-in?
I have been wondering the same thing. I definitely have experienced changes in cables and speakers after break-in, but don't know for sure regarding amps. It seems like 200 hours or so changes everything, and I'm not talking about my ears adjustin... 
Forget Expensive Gel Absorbers
I'm going tomorrow, this I gotta see. Thanks MH. 
Which came first, the chicken or the egg
Thanks Kirk...hmmm... Now, where can I get a few grand extra?
