Speakers suggestions for Rotel components
maybe the B&W cdmnt line or even the 700 series would fit your bill...i understand that the CM series is quite a step down from what i have read in the forums here (funny how they are almost as expensive though...i think it's that Scandinavian...

How to hook up subwoofer to Creek 5350SE?

Sony DVD/SACD Player Break-in Time?

How is your many titles in your digital collection
Billions and Billionsseriously though...I'm the loser at the low end of the list with only a couple hundred cd's and a few dozen DVD's and SACD's.one question...those of you with the "well endowed" collections...where do you find the time to liste...
