I'll second the parasound line. 
To Plug Power Amps Direct in to Wall or Not ??
My whole house surge protector is not sensitive enough to cover small "issues". Regardless of sound quality, I'm using a surge before my amp. I can get used to a miniscule amount of sound problems vs buying a new amp.And, YES I have had lighting s... 
Classe CDP .5 or Denon 2910
Read the reviews. You may find that the Denon 2200 series is much better for the money than the 2910-I did! The denon should be a little less bright also, but that's your opinion. Personally, I found the denon quality quite nice and scrapped using... 
advice on 5.1 or 7.1 pre/pro
Anthem AVM20 
Do they make Speakers For Rap/Rock
Commercial speakers (JBL, EV, Klipsch). Most of these will have circuit breakers to avoid damage, they put out loads of bass and are fairly efficient (110db with 100 watts).Keep in mind that a nice crest or qsc amp would help tremendously. Even th... 
Too good to be true?
At least in Pittsburgh, there is a Pawn Shop division for the police and they specialize in this stuff. 
ar turntable resurrection advice
The Goldring and shure 97 are great choices. The ortofon sounds fairly nice. My only beef with upgrades to the ortofon is the needle price is quite high in comparison to finding a whole cartridge on sale.I have the Goldring (1012?) on my table now... 
Speakers made for close placement to front walls
Soliloquy Sat-5's are designed to be placed on a shelf or near a wall. No ports, very clean sound, need a sub. 
Rear Ported Speakers, Backs to Wall?
I'll back Narrod. Also, from what I've always been taught, you should spend equal amounts on each piece in a system. More than a slight imbalance with Revel/NAD?

Tube Home Theater PreAmp?
Have you thought about one of the mods on DVD's for 5 channel tube? 
please help with tube amp thks
2Big, I think Swampwalker was being gentle with you. You really have to be careful with matching speakers with a 300B. If you end up with 7 watts of heaven per channel, it will sound thin and lame if you have 90db speakers and a pair of passive su... 
Eating-up cheap dvd players
Just hoping to spend $99 instead of buying a new one every year???Thanks. 
Quietest amp you ever owned ?
Bob,The 80 can't be compared to anything Dynaco originally produced. I've played with 70's and even had a pair of fully restored/upgraded MKIV's. Nothing can touch this amp. Panor+25 years of technology really made a difference.The re-release of t... 
Quietest amp you ever owned ?
Still using my dead silent Dynaco ST-80 (by Panor 1996) with my conquests. Never heard such power and detail out of a 40 watt amp/20 watt triode.
