Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
Cinematic_systems,Thanks for the suggestions. Although I don't listen to rap I will probably go pick up 50 Cent out of curiosity. One of the main things that drives me crazy about a lot of rap and electronica is that they use drum machines which t... 
Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
Can you give us an example of audiophile quality rap recording? Sorry.I am not sure which speaker line would be good for rap because I don't listen to any. For rock you might look at the Paradigm Studio 100's. They will play plenty loud with the r... 
The quality of sound of an integrated amp?
I believe the Panche has a trial period. 30 or 60 days if I am not mistaken. I have always wanted to hear one too. 
b&w 803 or vr4jr, best match
The Vons and B&W's have fairly different designs. You really need to listen to both to see which you like. If I had to choose from the three you listed, would be the VR4JR, then the 803D and then the 803S but, I would not have the 803S on my l... 
Car Audio
Should we all settle for Delco, absolutely not! But, I can't see spending thousands of dollars on a car system. It does crack me up when you go to test drives cars and the sales person says, "And this has a great Bose stereo." I did the car audio ... 
Please define
What term are you speaking of? 
Car Audio
IMO there is no such thing as high end car audio. Road noise, reflections, limited speaker placement and so on are all factors that you can not eleminate from mobile audio. 
Used CDP $1k better than Apollo
I am ready to purchase the Apollo in the next couple of days and was trying to insure that I haven't over looked a great used player in the $1k range. You are probably right though. I should just buy the Apollo and not look back. 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
I have Quad 12L's and like them a lot. Might look at the 21 or 22 used. There may be an issue with the space you have to work with off your back wall though. I have been leaning towards getting some Totems to replace the Quads but must first deal ... 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
"Please don't reply telling which loudspeaker you have"So you think people buy speakers that don't sound the best to them in the $1K to $1.2k range? They say "I think speaker A sounds better than speaker B but, I am going to go ahead and buy speak...

Look at the Rega Apollo new for $1k for the CDP. Most dealers are blowing out the Planets and Jupiters since they are now discontinued.Look at the Sim Audio I-3 or I-5 used. $1950 for a used I-5 is too much IMHO. The I-3's go for around $1k and th... 
NAD S200 vs. McCormack DNA125
McCormack. 
Integrated amp for Vandersteen 2CE signature.
I was being just a bit sarcastic with the Gamut suggestion. About 70% of the posters asking for recommendations don't include a budget and/or the rest of their system. Both fairly important to make an intelligent recommendation if you ask me.
