Best 5.1 surround recordings?
Ahhh, the operative words "done properly". It's difficult enough setting up a 5.1 system "properly" in one's home. Add to that the difficulty of an audio engineer going back to the orginal master tape of a recording (if hopefully, that's available... 
I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system?
Hey Ray,Your absolutely right there is not a lot of dealers in your neck of the woods. Anyway here's a link to one dealer in the Sioux Falls - a store called Home Audio Architect - http://www.homeaudioarchitects.com/. Looks like he carries Denon, ... 
I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system?
Hey Ray,What kind of CD player do you have? And please feel free to ignore the "buy this, buy that" and "if you don't like it sale it" crowd around here, as I feel you're the kind of guy that wants to do a decent upgrade and then enjoy it for a wh... 
I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system?
Ray.You sound a lot like me, little bit different taste in music, but still in the same ballpark (I enjoy bluegrass and acoutic blues) and like you, mostly listen at a low or moderate volume, and yes, I'm a bit past "middle aged". Chances are you ... 
I am interested in upgrading my late 80's system?
Well Ray,I was where you're at, about two years ago, when I decided I wanted to upgrade my late 80s Onyko/Boston Acoustic system. Chances are you won't find many (or any) reviews on a lot of equipment manufactered back then. Anyway, the first ques...

m22 vs. atom
Djembeplay,Heard both Axiom and Paradigm, and IMHO I would take a Paradigm over Axiom every time. Axioms aren't bad, but I feel they are definely designed more for the HT crowd. I think that you'll be happy with the Atoms, especially if "down the ...

Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
Didn't see any comments when I posted my last post. But seriously, you spend 80% of the "furniture" budget on three stereo systems, including your "own basement system that she's not allowed to enter" and yet you feel your wife is getting "revenge... 
Need Speakers at least 4 feet high
When you get your "four foot high" speakers, that can do everything that the Kharma 3.2 Enigmas can do, wonder what the wife will do to sabotage that effort? If it was me, I think I would find an extra bedroom, garage, or some other place to make ... 
It's Hammond B3 Organ Day
Might not be the greatest B-3 player, but Gregg Allman's B-3 playing certainly put the "gravy" on the music of the Allman Brothers Band. 
Best speakers for 3 cord rock and roll
Just saw this over in A'gon sales section.http://buy.audiogon.com/cgia/cls.pl?spkrmoni&1204537137Lots of people listen to their "rock and roll" back in the seventies on these puppies. For $295 it's a "no brainer". 
Are modern speakers better than old speakers?
Jaapjess,If you like their sound and they're working well, I would keep them "as is". As Shadorne said "some progess" and truth be told, probably not as much as a lot of manufactuers would have you believe. 
Top 5 Entry-level audiophile speakers $1500-2000?
Aguablue,If you're looking for speakers like Paradigm, NHT or Energy you might go to Audio Buys. For B&W, I believe Myers-Emco carries them. Of course, I feel that Spendor, Quad, Proac, ect are better sounding speakers than similiar priced Par...
