$3000 Speaker/electronics budget
Once again the common variables exist that are not being adressed here. For instance, how big is the room, what is the layout like? What are his listening habits and source material choices mostly. I mean is a he a "metal head" or quiet classical ... 
Tube Home Theater PreAmp?
If you wan't tubes in your home theater system, for all practicality and performance where it COUNTS in an HT systme, I recommend tube amps and horn speakers, if you must have tubes for your sound... 
Tube Home Theater PreAmp?
My experience with the likes of the Fosgate, is compromised overall extremes. Also, no DD/DTS processing. This is a dynamic compromise to say the least, as you must process DD/DTS from your dvd player! This is not ideal, at all!!!I've yet to come ... 
Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music
For the money, and best performance out of both for the money, I suggest the traditional audiophile approach. This is basically keeping a 2 channel setup/rig, while looping a good 5.1 processor into an auxilary or "pass through" input on your 2 ch... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Let's look at the current state of digital sound these days. Basically, you've get everything going to mass Gigabite level medium storage. You've also got Ipods as the latest fad (the new "Walk-man" of the era). Where not talking quality here, but... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Kr4, do you mean to tell me there's actually 1000+ titles on SACD/DVDA? I never see them! I mean, you can go to any major cd chain store in my neck of the woods, and you might find a few titles of stuff you don't really care to listen to for anyth... 
Why is 2 Channel better than multi-channel?
Like I've posted on other posts, we as a society have largely "cared less" about 2 channel stereo sound quality, in favor of convenience and content it seems! LP's died, and so did SACD/DVDA. 25 years later, standard old cruddy CD's are still sell... 
Blu Ray over/under $
As for the better audio capability issue, I really seriously doubt anyone on a grand scale cares so much! I mean, A BIG FAT FRACTION OF A PERCENT of the buying public ever even heard an SACD or DVDA disc, let alone even know they exist! Crappy old... 
Blu Ray over/under $
Rysa4, I don't get your point.I stated that there's NOT going to be a mass exodus anytime soon to any new DVD format, IMO. The players will indeed have more potential on the right monitor, over standard DVD, this is certain! And yes, I've seen the... 
HIGH DEF DVD...WHATS THE LATEST NEWS?
I think as long as any players, whether Blue Ray or HD DVD, are backwards compatible with current DVD's, which people have so heavily embraced over the years, no one will really care which format takes over. Anything that's an improvment, that won... 
Blu Ray over/under $
Again, I think people aren't gunna be doing a mass exodus to HD DVD or other here, like the industry hopes! It won't be even 1/3 of what the DVD rush was years ago, I garantee it! People already have the convenience of the Disc. The quality jump w... 
Blu Ray over/under $
Gotta look at all the past formats, and I must say that QUALITY has ALWAYS taken a back seat too convenience, cost, profit, etc!!! Again, look at Betamax and look at CD(16bit/44 was a major step down in sonics, minus some backround noise here and ... 
what is your proceedure for setting up u'r system?
Krellm7, thanks for your professional insight.Are you the resident Sonus faber expert, and 2 channel guru, by any chance?Yada, yada...yes, my older 2 channel systems had better resolve, speaker per speakers, sure. The overall efffect, dynamics, co... 
article comparing room correction lexicon/multeq
Yeah, would like to read this one as well. Good to keep up on the current state of the art as it stands in digital HT 
what is your proceedure for setting up u'r system?
"...If you think about it if you go with surround sound you must now spread your money out at least three times as much" (Krellm7)Huh, my 2 channel systems have always been WAY more expensive than my multi-channel HT systems! (lol)Let's see, last ...
