| Need Help Matching to This System To Speakers Give Jim Salk a call and describe what you are looking for; I'm sure something in his current catalog will meet your needs (plus you can't beat how they look). | |
| Upgrade path question with $2k to spend @davedword short answer is if you replace your AVR with 2-channel, you can only play back 2 channels (L-R stereo) of a multi-channel recording. Consider though that most multi-channel audio releases also include 2-channel stereo. Frankly, most o... | |

| Speaker Recommendation Help Please. With the exception of the Cornwalls, almost none of the speakers suggested (especially the Wilsons) are going to sound good that close to the wall; they all need space behind them to give a decent soundstage; otherwise you will be wasting your mon... | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Correction; 590AXII, not 580AXII | |
| After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same? Just went integrated on my main system, replacing about $10K worth of separates (DeHavilland, Edge, JLTi) with a Luxman 580AXII. Driving Klipsch Forte IV's, so the 30 Class A WPC was not an issue.
