Peter Gabriel and music like his
Does anyone know how the new Dave Mathews or Sarah Mclaughlin albums sound? The last two Dave Mathews albums weren't that great and Sarah hasn't recorded anything in five years so who knows if she still has it. An honest critic would be nice. 
Peter Gabriel and music like his
I'm trying to think of an artist who is like Peter Gabriel and nothing pops into my head. I think I have all his stuff (re-mastered) and it's really hard to think of anyone who is doing what he's doing.As far as some other world music artist that ... 
concert DVD recommendations
Just purchased the pretenders in concert. Not bad, this concert was shot in March of this year down in L.A.there's a nice HD video transfer (16:9 widescreen) and a DTS soundtrack. 
Plinius M8 or ARC LS16MKII?
I've owned the LS16mkII and liked it a lot! I'm sure it would mate well with a SS amp, I used mine with an ARC VT-100MKIII (tube amp) and the sound was heavenly.That's all I can offergood luck 
aerial10t amp match
You may want to try a Theta Dreadnaught. I use a 5-channel Dreadnaught to drive my LR-5's, CC-5 center and my SR3's in the rear. There's lots of power there (200watts per ch) and this amp is very transparent. 
Good Scene to test surrounds
First scene from Final Destination-II works every time. I hope you have a big sub-woofer! (Use the DTS soundtrack)Diana Krull live in Paris is a great one for DTS surround too!Eagles Hell freezes over track-1 DTSGood luck 
Anyone heard the Aerial Acoustics Model 9?
I have the LR5's with a pair of SW-12 subwoofers for the bottom end, I cross them over at 80hz. I get great sound and can manage the bass nicley.Sorry I haven't heard the 9's yet so no comment. 
HDTV/5.1 Question
If you have a digital reciever you should be able to run straight into a digital input on your preamp. If you have an old pro-logic reciever you may be in trouble. 
Michael Hedges. Fantastic CD......Aerial B.....
This ones in my collection, I better pull it out and have a listen soon! It's been awhile.If you like Michael Hedges I can garantee you'll like Lawrence Juber, check it out. Try his greatest hits collection for starters then buy the beatles tunes. 
dts question
I can't imagine attack of the clones in DTS since George Lucas's DD-THX format competes with DTS.Apology excepted Brainwater, I'm still going to check out the haunting again :^) Another great DTS is Diana Krall in Paris 
dts question
I'll have to rent the haunting again this weekend. I'll admit the first time I saw it I wasn't running two sub-woofers in my system, I may have missed the deeper message:^) As far as attack of the clones go, I blew a tweeter in my center channel d... 
dts question
I disagree with brainwater the ultimate DTS disc is Final Destination-II. Yes, DTS is the bomb if you've got a fairly good system to start with. In a mediocre system it may not be noticable at all. Personally I think I'd wait till your upgrading y... 
Natalie Merchant Fans
I only own one Natty Cd, Tigerlilly but man that's a great recording! If I wanted to purchase a couple more what would you recomend? And please leave the maniacs out of it. 
High Definition?
If your asking if it's worth investing in an HDTV I would probably say yes. Not for the programing that's available but rather for the crisp picture when viewing movies through a progressive scan DVD player. 
Which One Do I Have To Have?
Hi again, obviously I was just joking in my earlier post. Have you thought about dedicated circuits for all your stuff? Getting good voltage and isolating things like neutral and ground noise may help more than what your thinking of doing. Persona...
