What is the test of time?
I can't believe the group "America" did Muskrat Love. It sure ruined their greatest hits cd. 
Car Audio Newbee
Just a note about speakers. My favorites were Focals(expensive JMLABS) and MBQuart. Component(separate tweet and mid) give you quality and flexibility usually. They even make tube amps for cars--Butler Audio. Infinity seemed too tame to me. Boston...

B&W M-1 speakers- thoughts and experiences
Hi I,m back again. I looked it up and NHT sells the NHT L-5's for about $675. It didn't say if that was a pair or not. It just said MSRP. Dan 
B&W M-1 speakers- thoughts and experiences
Hi Ihave no idea which model the speakers are but they did look similar and didn't look expensive. If I get by the place again, I'll check and get back with you. the guy's name is John Ashman and he owns Audio Design in Albuquerque NM. I think he ... 
B&W M-1 speakers- thoughts and experiences
I'm a B&W fan myself but I heard from a biased person that NHT makes similar speakers and that they blow away the B&W's. You might have a listen if you can. He didn't say what the difference was nor the price. Good Luck Dan 
Blues "must have, top 100" list?
Buddy Guy and Junior Wells album with just face pictures of the two on the front. I saw them in concert and it was the best concert I've ever seen. And this is coming from a Deadhead. They opened for Dave Mason and about a quarter way through D.M.... 
Digital Cable on Digital Cable Tv Box
Very few of the channels put out a digital signal-mostly just pay per view. But I only use the digital output from my satellite receiver. The AV receiver then puts it in either analog or digital domain depending on what it is. Whe I changed from j... 
Veiwing distance.....
I would try different distances. I have a low tolerance for being too close. People differ in this respect. If you have to move your eyes back and forth a lot to see all the action at once, then you are too close. that is what gives you the headache. 
Do you remember your first cd?
I bought a cd in order to audition my first cd player. "Matthew Ward's Greatest Hits" I had the tape so I had some idea how this music was supposed to sound. He is the lead singer of Acts Chapter 2. The first track sounded awful on a Sony 601ES ch... 
Recommendations on Toslink cable
I second Elgordo. I have 2 of them in my HT system. It was almost like I turned up the volume. Better clarity that the junk I was using. especially in the center channel 
Center Channel Needed?
Yes the center speaker is important especially if anyone is not sitting in the sweet spot. Otherwise it sounds like the persom is speaking out of one of the front speakers. But this is a concern for movies. 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
Just last night I changed the speaker setting to small even thugh the B&W speakers aren`t small. It really opened up the dialogue. I could lower the volume 5 numbers. I have a Denon 3803. good luck Dan
