Baby name opinion....
I guess it's better than "Mono", but I don't think I'd do that to my daughter...just my opinion. 
Need advice on McIntosh driving Thiel 2.4's
I've owned my pair of Thiel CS6 speakers for years now, and have tried many different amps. I recently bought a Mcintosh MC7200 amp and C715 pre-amp and my Thiels have never sounded better. I realize I'm comparing "older" Mcintosh technology with ... 
Question I Have Never Seen Before?
Start by going to your local big box retail store and asking them for some large sheets of cardboard from a flat panel TV or appliance and also see if they have some heavy duty cardboard corner pieces that are used to ship fridges safely. Wrap the...

Why do dealers do this?
I enjoyed reading all the above experiences, especially those regarding car buying. I sold cars for 19 years and always found it amusing how much money I made off the ignorance and over-all lack of selling skills of other car salesman. Customers j... 
Classe DR-5
Is the DL-5 the same as the DR-5 except for the DL-5 not having a phono stage? They appear to be the same otherwise. 
Thiel CS3.6 Amp
I just bought a Classe CA-300 for my Thiel CS6's and it sounds great (600WPC into 4 ohms). I've heard the Pass X-250 and 350 series of amps match up well with Thiels also. 
I,m totally lost.....how do I connect all this????
Well, you didn't indicate if your DVR box or your TV is HD, but here goes: 1. The coax cable coming from your wall plugs into your DVR cable box. 2. You connect the cable box to your DVD recorder using the best connection both units provide (compo...

Fall Flat Panel Lineup
Jeff:Don't get hung up on LCD vs. plasma as the actual source you hook up, and how it's hooked will make a greater difference than the differences between the two types of TV's. Plasma's are known for better black levels and some think a more natu... 
what do i really need 1080p for?
Lots of opinions here, not all of them accurate, so here's mine: Plasma TV's are not dead, and in fact, do some things better than LCD's and for less money. Plasmas and LCD's will both be around for quite awhile. 720P is basically the same as 1080... 
Good Country recordings
Alison Krauss "A Hundred Miles or More" is an excellent sounding CD. 
Single binding posts on Thiel CS 6
I have Thiel CS6 speakers and love my Harmonic Technology Pro 9 speaker cables. Make sure they're spade terminated as the Thiels don't give you much room for bananas since the binding posts are on the bottom of the speaker! 
Amp upgrade ?
For less than half the money, I chose the BAT VK-500 with Batpack option to drive my Thiel CS 6 speakers. I considered the ML and Krell amps, but don't think spending two or three times the money would have resulted in that much better sound. My p...
