Are Sub-woofers really for music?
I like a sub with music too - they add luxurius warmth to ther sound. Some music genre benefits more from it than others - Pop, jazz, and dance music where beats are important. If you have a speaker you really like, sometimes a poor sub can obsecu...

The best CD Player for the money
Pioneer 525 DVD - you can find modifications on the web for it - sounds quite pleasant and affordable ($250). 
Any one got better results than with EAC?
Thanks for the detail on EAC use - it's a big program - not as intuitive to use. I should read the readme completely. They also have a forum at their sight. I will try your suggestgions. Have you tried decompressing MP3 files? Adds something to i... 
I need some suggestions for some new speakers...
I am thinking of getting one since they got good reveiws. In what ways are you not satisfied with them? Nice mid-fi system you built - you shopped wisely. Should sound pretty good. You might want to add a sub. I upgrade my speakers many times sea...

2 ch HT/music...hope to hear from the 2 ch purists
I share your father's taste in music - I wish I had 300 software on it like him! May be by the time I am his age... I too like B&W and Tannoy for classical music - sounds crisp and realistic to me. No offense to fastguy, but Soliloquy sounds ...
