| Monitor speakers that disappear:best image/staging You don't have to spend big $ to get that holographic sound.I am currently alternating between Sonus Faber Toy Monitors & Dynaudio Audience 42's in my computer audio system & both of them have uncanny imaging as well as sound staging with ... | |
| so many speakers Just reread my reply & it should have read"older Sonus Faber's".The newer models I have heard(Toy's,Veneer's)don't seem to suffer from this problem. | |
| Equipment you just must get if you can YES,after a ton of research into an integrated amplifier to drive my new Sonus Faber Toy Towers I must have one of the original SimAudio i-5 or i-5.3 integrated's in Black finish(hint,hint to anyone with one)!!! | |
| so many speakers The Sonus Fabers I have heard are SUBLIME with Acoustic Music of ALL types,yet on most rock/modern blues recordings the drum kits seem so recessed they almost can't be heard. Dynaudio speakers are the only ones I have ever heard that seem to work ... | |

| Using TV as Audio Hub? For the life of me I don't know why everyone has to make things so difficult.The system you have in mind will work perfectly so just stick to your original plan & run an Toslink from the tv to a nice little all in 1 like the Wadia or a Peachtr... | |
| Oppo BDP-95 as a pure two channel audio source? You will have to spend several times the cost of the BDP-95 to better the sound it is capable of! | |
