Best 2.1 PC Speaker System?
Absolutely NO QUESTION...the Acoustic Energy Aego One. It's 599, includes sub and two satilites, and ROCKS. Saw 'em in Stereophile, and didn't believe 'em, so I heard 'em for myself. VERY NICE! They really sound good. Go hear 'em for yourself. Hap... 
Anyone under 30?
I'm 20, and loving the High-End. To save the bucks, though, I generally have to build all my stuff. Oh well! 
Recommendations of best violin recordings performances
This is a bit more contemporary, but Ithazk Perlman and John William's "Cinema Serenade" is not only a sonic knockout, but a performance one is well. Take notice of "Schindler's List", on the video of this performance, Perlman's Stradivarius is co... 
BEST CARTRIDGE FOR ROCK AND METAL?
Slap a dynavector on it, and you'll never look back 
KIMBER SELECT 3038
HArmonic Tech Magic Woofer, and second Lak's Bear Labs reco. 
Best amp for B W Matrix 805
B&W uses Krell amps? Last I heard, their "reference" system in England was two 800 Signatures driven by ML 33's.

surround question
Sorry...I mean series, not parallel. Oops! They need a Kirchoff's law checker on this forum! 
surround question
I agree with once bitten. The "switch box" would most certainly degrade the sound quality, although it sounds like the reciever will be doing most of the sound degredation already. You could connect the two pairs of speakers in parallel for a nomi... 
BMI Eel vs. Voodoo Mana power cord?
Hey, what's the BMI website's address? Can't seem to find it. 
What Does It Take to be an Audiophile?
Sc53, I agree with you, but no matter HOW much you buy in audio, there's always a re-sale value. I'm not sure that it's possible to urinate in a cup and try to sell THAT back to your local crack dealer. And I KNOW that Denny's won't trade you cash... 
Best Non Progressive DVD ......
Denon DVD 3000 used is under a grand, easy. Also look at the 5000. Very nice players. They aren't as pretty as the Pioneer, but I couldn't be happier with mine. Just make SURE not to use the dang tos-link digital connections. Tos-link stinks alrea... 
What's up with the Rega Planet 2000?
What I want to know is why I keep seeing Morrison ELAD's pop up. There's probably 100 or so in the entire world (pure speculation), and every ONE of those owners put a review of one up on the web . I guess the small number of people who didn't lik... 
vibrapod residue
Al - I wonder how many 2nd graders are asking their friends that same question right this very moment.
