Can we list the better labels? Chesky? Telarc?
When I bought my Thiel speakers, they sent a couple of demo discs from "Pope Music." The recording quality was very nice.

4 Ohm Speakers, 8 Ohm Amps
I wouldn't be too worried about running 4 ohm speakers with the amplifiers in stereo mode, as long as you don't play your music extremely loud!!I probably wouldn't run a 4 ohm speaker on the bridged amplifier. Does the amp have enough power that y... 
How do Adcom power amps sound?
good idea! 
Problem with bass managment with many universals-
What I was thinking about was letting the preamp/processor dump all of the LFE channel into the front speakers only, which in my set-up consists of the front speakers parallel with the subwoofer. I didn't even think about the fact that the preamp/... 
Problem with bass managment with many universals-
Wow, the advice about using 3 subwoofers sounds VERY expensive....and the interaction between the three drivers would probably be a huge mess!!!Anyway, it sounds like the general advice coming in is correct: You should set your system up as if you... 
Your favorite versions of Aja and Katy Lied?
To me, the AJA MFSL CD is MUCH BETTER than the original CD. (As for GAUCHO MFSL CD, the highs sound too over-emphasized, unnatural, or something???????? Anybody else notice that?) 
How do Adcom power amps sound?
I have had an Adcom GFA-555 since about 1991.? Sometime around 2000, I bought a used GFA-5503 (3 channel MOSFET) and compared it to the 555. The 555 sounds pretty bad in comparison! The mosfet design is much better! I would not recommend the GFA-5... 
Which 16:9, 46" RPT--Toshiba v. Sony
To me, the Mitsubishi has a big problem with RED PUSH. I bought a Toshiba but if you can afford it, get a Pioneer!!! 
Thiel 2.3 versus 2.4
i heard a brand new pair of 2.4s recently. its hard to say how they compare to the 2.3s but they sounded relatively similar. my advice would be to buy used 2.3s for about half the retail price and then decide if you want to live with the Thiel sou... 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Since the thread has taken several twists anyway, can anyone tell me how the Naim CDX would compare to the Opus 21 or Capitole mk II? I have considered buying a used CDX. Would I be better off buying an Opus 21? What is the price of a used Opus 21... 
The best CD Player for the money
My theory for buying a used piece of gear is that someone else is taking the largest part of diminishing returns. For example, a Rega Planet, if someone who bought it new for $800 sells it a couple years later, they'll get $400. If I buy it at $40...

Please help: Room size?
I think you should go with 22 feet length. It's a big benefit that it will save you time and money, but even if that weren't the case, you should still go with 22 feet. If you put the speakers on the short wall, you will really need to put good so...
