| Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions? I had Venere 2.0 bookshelves setup for my home theater for a couple years. I thought they worked well within a "movie" context, where a forward, somewhat punched-up colored sound would enhance the "cinematic experience". At the same time, the Vene... | |

| Arcam 600 Amp---seeking high end DVD player that interfaces well---possible? I had an Arcam DV79 that worked great for both 5.1 movies with a Denon AVR, and later as a dedicated 2-channel CD player with Linn separates.
