The importance and effect to and above 20kHz...

"CD, do you know the reason for the THX 80Hz crossover standard?" Drcruz - I've never considered why THX selected 80hz, seeing my system wasn't built around THX standards. I would suggest if its important, check out the website for THX or Tomlinso...

Cambridge Audio 640R
For this price bracket...you have picked an outstanding choice in the Cambridge. FYI, Cambridge products are designed by former engineers from Tag McClaren (remember them) and Meridian. Very Good indeed. My next choice would be the Arcam. Very clo... 
Anthem vs Krell vs Meridian
Hands down...Meridian. IMO, the Anthem doesn't come close. The Krell is better than before. So many hated Krell because its "cold." The designers have revamped a few things and its products have really improved over the recent year or so.However, ...
