Hey Nrchy- what is AOR? Short for aorta? Music with heart?There is still plenty of music with "edge." Much of it rap. Of COURSE much of rap is mysogynistic, L.C.D. (lowest common denominator) poser crap...but you have to separate the WFTC (wheat f...

P.S.- am now listening to http://www.wazee.org/ which is streaming alternative rock. I have no doubt you can get metal, whatever. Ain't the internet grand?

Douglas Self on Negative feedback and distortion
Well, I never tried it, as I am a former musician and liberal artsy/ fartsy guy. My ears have never failed me- but they have cost me a bundle. Probably the most spot- on post in this whole affair was: Hammy & Marakanetz: I'm somewhere between ... 
Speakers to Mate with McCormack?
Sorry about the klipsch comment. I really did sell the forte's though. In any event, with that amp you can pick any speaker you like. The real question is "what speaker for 1- 2k" used. Vandy is a great choice.

Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl?
Slappy, you were killing me! L.O.L.! MUST BUY BRITTANY! Hell, there is no greater oxymoron than "Brittany live!" As for Bose, "No highs, no lows- must be bose!" If we were truly mind- controlled robots the reviews we'd read would be in Stereo Pay2... 
Why is Sony Digital sound more like vinyl?
Tqn999- You are wrong. These guys can, and have, heard the difference. Piano is especially good to A/B cd players, because we all know what it is supposed to sound like. I had a rega planet 2000, but I bought a Pioneer elite DVD and a french tubed...
