Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
How about just using rhapsody or Mog? You arent going to get great quality anyway from Sonos so dont waste your time with worrying about putting your music on a server. I use the sonos for my ambient speakers in several zones but it cant cut it fo... 
Music Servers & Sonos. XiVA Music M8, W4S ?
Sonos is great and easy. Load music to itunes via your laptop and then point to it in sonos to play music anywhere. Not the highest fidelity but pretty darn good. Also, its easy to add new rooms if you plan on expanding. You really should go to ta... 
Sonos surprise
Sonos is really all they say it is. One of the few products that delivers as promised. I was an early adopter in 2005. Has gotten better and better. Not really hi fidelity for serious listening but for a whole house audio or just fun it cant be beat. 
Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1
I will never understand why people on these forums have to insult one product to favor another. As stated above its a matter of taste. Does it make you feel better to insult anothers system? Maybe more worthwhile? There's a couch out there for tha... 
Merlin VSM MXr vs Thiel 2.4 vs Dynaudio C1
Wow, merlin is a poor speaker for female vocals? Not to be sarcastic but have you ever heard them or read these forums. Yes, I do own them. With appropriate mating of equipment, which is true for all speakers, they are nearly the best one can buy ... 
MartinLogan Motion 4 vs Gallo A'Diva
I have a separate 2 channel system as well and bought the gallo in 5.1 for HT only. I have been using them for stereo while my serious speakers are being redone. The gallos are really good using a simple denon receiver with sonos input. Not equal ... 
PerfectWave DAC / Zodiac Gold Shootout Round 1
What upgrade is planned to the pwdac? I ordered one 10 months ago and due to a speaker change has never been out of the box. Where can i read more? Thanks. 
How far off are wireless audiophile speakers?
You can send high def quality video via wireless hdmi units so I would think this application/technology is readily available. 
5.1 small speaker recommendations
I have decided and gone with the Gallo D'avia Ti system. Thanks for your opinions and I'll be sure to upgrade to 7.1 within the year. It's going to be a few months before I have them up and running as we are in the process of moving but I'll be su... 
5.1 small speaker recommendations
I've considered Orb but don't find a good deal of interest here. Are they simialr quality to Gallo or just looks? I don't mind the extra cost for a better product but if they are on par with one another I'd save some cash. 
Gallo 3.5 vs Merlin VSM-MXe
Juan I agree that cables are important with the Merlin philosophy but I don't think table top radio is fair. Besides, with copper costing what it does high end cables can be a money maker! I purchased two new meter long Cardas GR 4 years ago which... 
Ripping to Mac OSX
Now that I have my audio collection ripped to a hard drive connected to mac mini for streaming via usb dac, how do I create a file with mp3 files of my AIFF files for ipod use? 
New HT system
Will be using for BD movies and sports tv. 
New HT system
Thanks for responding. I've been at this for a while so I know a good deal about 2 channel. I already have a dedicated high end stereo room for music only. MUSIC ISN'T IMPORTANT for this endeavor. I like all types of music. I will be having a dedi... 
New HT system
I'm talking speakers, amp and processor or receiver, and all cables. $7500 gets used really quick for a decent system.
