You want an amp with bass get a used Krell for that price. 
upgrade advice for budget-minded beginner
Well, Ethanh had the Onix xcd-88 in mind then why pay $240 more for the Music Hall CD-25, same unit. If you want to tame the brightness the Onix or Music Hall wouldnot help without mod. The Rega players in this case would be better choice. I agree... 
Localization of sub
I agree with Herman and have the drivers facing each side of the wall in corner.

Dyanaudio Audience 50 MKII.....need advise
Hi5. Set your speakers straight ahead this gives you a wider sound stage and toe in gives you more focus so adjust your speakers toe in at 1/5 of an inch at atime to your liking. Most room sound better with unequal back and side lenght. Try set yo... 
Sony DVD S7000 or S7700
Mr Chazro yes the 7000 can play DTS disk but it canot out put DTS surround sound signals. 7671 get the 7700 it's picture is way better than the 7000 and the DTS sound is a must. Either one sound crapy on music anyway IMHO. 
Sony DVD S7000 or S7700
If you use as transport most for music go with the 7000 but for most movies go with the 7700. I have owned both and now they're real cheap compare to original price. 
old vs new DAC designs and sound differences

Review: Onix Audio XCD 88 CD Player
Yes three of these are the same but the Onix xcd-88 is best deal brand new and I believe you can return within 1 month and 3 years warranty check the website for info. I just replace the OPA2604s to dual OPA627s. Happy listenning. 
Review: Onix Audio XCD 88 CD Player
I have no problems on access to track but at the beginning it take couple seconds to read tracks and a DAC relay "click" before it plays music.

Review: Onix Audio XCD 88 CD Player
I bought the Onix XCD-88 by reputation of Music Hall CD-25 with half the price. The Onix has very good instruments seperations and clear sound stage, midbass is focus and specialy vocals also do very well with this player. The high is good, little... 
Eco-friendly Bamboo ply speakers
Well I came from the far east and used bamboo for home and furniture for economy reason. They willnot last for long time dry and cracks because of their body structured long vertical fiber. They're not high grade of quality to make speakers or fun... 
How do I hook up a subwoofer for 2-channel
Like Raytheprinter asked you best need 2 preouts of your preamp 1 pair L+R go to the amp for main speakers, the other pair each L and R goes to each subwoofer's L and R inputs ( signals will sum up anyway ) or use y cables.
