| How does one get off the merry-go-round? You know how? Audition with your own ears. If you can't hear it, don't buy it. Or, familiarize yourself with the reviewer of your favorite gear. Know his taste and style and set the standard for yourself. The classifieds are full with the gear pur... | |

| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT "There's plenty of forums for politics, and THIS ISN'T ONE OF THEM!" Participating is optional - and btw who made you in-charge? | |
| MARTIN LOGAN TRIPLES THEIR PANEL REPLACEMENT The markup itself might turn off the potential buyers from the sales anyway. I was looking for an older pair myself, this pretty much tipped the scale. | |
| Finally saved 3000 what is a good setup. Vandersteen 3a Sig used and Behringer EP1500 amp with the volume controls. | |
| Entry level CDP Garn509 -- confused? | |
| Entry level CDP "I'm not looking for a an A/V unit." Even at the cost of performance and versatility? Beside CD's, there is plenty of great Jazz/Classical titles also available on DVD-a and SACD for you to explore. | |
