Recommendations for 5-Disc Carousel Player
Why not get another Marantz? The model VC-6001 CD/DVD changer, it plays SACD and DVD Audio as well and sounds pretty good. You can have a mix of formats and enjoy the music. 
Small speakers...big sound??
Add Swan D2.1SE, full sound and not bright at all. 
Swan D2.1SE.Any Thoughts?
Try them out for the 30-day trial period, don't like the sound send them back. I have a pair hook up to my Krell KAV-250a amp and the sound is amazing. Plenty of bass and the imaging is incredible. Just make sure you have a good clean powerful amp... 
Question about ML SL3 and Accent i ???????Help???
My Accent i's sound the opposite of what you heard. They are amazing speakers not dark sounding at all. The soundstage is huge, open and lots of detail. Voices sound so real you almost think the singer is in the middle of the room. Of corse it all... 
Opp 970 for SACD and DVD-A
I am using the 963 as a dedicated multi-channel SACD player with excellent results. I have the Oppo 971 for playing DVD's video's, the 971 is by far better for video. Can't comment on SACD sound quality between the 963 and 971, I like the sound qu... 
Martin Logan Aerius i vs. Spica TC-60
I seriously think the Cal Alpha & HK combo will sound better than the Rega Planet 2000 in my opinion. Later on you can always get a better transport. Here is a link to some reviews of the Cal.http://www.audioreview.com/cat/digital-sources/dacs... 
Which Vivaldi Four Seasons CD to buy???
I totally agreed with Opalchip on the BIS label by the Drottingholm Baroque Ensemble as being one of the BEST(BIS-CD-275). I also would recommend the JVC xrcd24 version Orchestre De Chambre Jean-Francois Paillard, Gerard Jarry, violon(JM-XR24001)....

What do I do with my Pioneer DV-09 DVD Player?
I also agreed with Avguygeorge on picture quality. A cheap Samsung DVD HD850 using HDMI is a big improvement over the DV-09 on picture quality. Now using the DV-09 as a transport for CD playback is where the DV-09 clearly shines and trounces the S... 
High output DAC?
I have a Cal Alpha DAC connected to my ARC preamp and it really makes a big difference in volume and sounds great. If you like to try the Cal Alpha get the one that is not the 24/96, the regular one has a higher gain. You can find one under $400.0... 
what made you get into high end gear.
One day(some 20-years ago) I took my car into the shop to be service. While waiting for the shuttle service to come by I meet a girl who was also waiting for the shuttle to take her to her place of employment. Anyway, we both got into the shuttle ... 
Sacd/dvd-a, The Hype Is Dead, For Me At Least...
I agree with you highly, Gfroman. 
Any New Music capture your fancy ?

A/V Receiver Recommendations Under 800.00
Two Yamaha models to consider the DSP-A1 and RX-V1 both have the same amps and are under your price range. The RX-V1 just has more features. Both have inputs for adding a multi-channel SACD/DVDA player. The sound is powerful and very good for movi...
