EMC-1 or CARY 306/200
Nguyenchiro,Have you ever auditioned the EMC-1? I am an Electrocompaniet dealer, so take my opinion with a grain of salt ;-) The Cary is a great player and certainly in the "top 10" list, but the EMC-1 is in a whole other league, IMHO.Regards...Mi... 
looking for a better DVD player
Another player that you should have in your "short" list would be the Simaudio Stellar. The other players you listed are also very good, especially the EAD.Regards...Mike - Father & Son Audio 
Sim Audio W-5 Amp With B&W N802 Speakers
Have you considered the Talon Peregrine X or Raven? They have a much more open and revealing presentation than the original Peregrine. To answer your other question, the W5 would have more than enough power to drive the N802, and would sound VERY ... 
EMC 1 upgrade??
As Stewart mentioned (thanks Stewart for bringing it up by the way, I have been meaning to do so), there are some "black market" EMC-1 players finding their way into the US through one individual. He has since been banned from Audiogon, but it has... 
Audes' "Blue" Speaker: 2000 Marvel?
I completely agree with Stewart. The Audes line is IMHO the most amazing speakers no one has heard of. For the money, they are TOUGH to beat. Hopefully, you will get some customers to reply to your post, instead of just us biased dealers ;-) Good ... 
Talon Khorus Vs Audio Physic Avanti III
Samuel is EXACTLY correct in his response. NEVER purchase any equipment based on statements made on these forums. In fact, be careful to not let statements in the forums (Audio Asylum, Audiogon, etc.) dissuade you from even auditioning a particula... 
1,500 tube preamp which one?
You should also add the Power Modules 20A to your audition list. Good luck!Regards...Mike 
high end progressive scan dvd player
mr_g3,There are a couple things to consider in the case of the Simaudio Stellar and it's high price tag:1) The Stellar was not just designed to be a flagship DVD player, but also a flagship CD player. For the person that wants a one-box solution, ... 
best sub for 150 hz and below
What is your budget? 
EAD PM 2000 or Theta Dread?
Dave...I agree with Jimmy. Going to the Dreadnaught (although a fine amp) will not be an improvement over the EAD PM2000. The PM2000 is the most musical and dynamic multichannel amp I have heard, EXCEPT for the Simaudio Titan, which outperforms bo... 
high end progressive scan dvd player
It is expensive ($6000 retail), but be sure to add the Simaudio Stellar to your short list. 
Coolest looking cd player in history
All,The Shanling CD-T100 will be available from Father & Son Audio in about 6 weeks. There will be a limited quantity of these in the first shipment from China. If you would like to reserve one for purchase, there will be a 50% NON-REFUNDABLE ... 
Theta Dreadnaught amp is it just a HT amp or music
The Dreadnaught is a great double-duty amp. The other theater amp that works well for both theater and 2ch is the Simaudio Titan. 
Rel Storm 3 with Thiel CS1.5's ?
REL is one of my favorites and should work well. You should also consider the Talon Roc 2002 as a good match to your Thiel speakers. The Roc is VERY fast and detailed....Mike 
Gershmann/VonSchweikert/Silverline
Silverline and VR both make great speakers, but I would have to agree with Doctorb and give the nod to VR. If you haven't already, make sure you add the Talon Khite 2002 and Peregrine X to your list of must audition. I believe that there are a cou...
