| Wife Acceptance Factor Don't get my original post wrong BTW. I'm happily married (if that tired cliche really exists as more than an oxymoron...). My wife knows how much I spent and on what. My system is only around $25-30K (will be around or over $30k when I upgrade th... | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor In every relationship, there's a "Male" and "Female"Shut up damn you, don't ruin my fantasy!!!J/K | |
| Wife Acceptance Factor It seems to me that most women who are wives in my area (including my own) believe in the "what is yours is mine" philosophy, or worse, tend to believe they own the monopoly on home sense in terms of what is appropriate to buy, or what is suitab... | |
| How do you determine how much to spend on speakers My plan of attack was to purchase "A class" 7.1 electronic equipment and then to purchase a borderline high end 5.1 speaker setup. This allowed me to get equipment I won't have to upgrade for a long time, while allowing me the time to save up for ... | |
| Best 10K Speaker If you can go a little higher I would audition the B&W 802D (and try to get a nice discount from a reasonable dealer). The 802D blew me away. I'm saving for a pair to add to my setup eventually. If you mean 10K for one speaker and not a pair, ... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions If you can spend the extra money I would get a pair of 803Ds (or at least audition the 803S, which I never did, but is in your range if you get 12% discount). As far as bass on the 703s, the bass extension seems great to me when playing in stereo ... | |
| $5000 or under speaker secommendations? I would recommend B&W 703, 804, 805, or 803S speakers. I have 703s and couldn't be happier, until I get to upgrade to 803D or 802D speakers down the road at some point. Best advice is to go take a listen somewhere, it convinced me pretty quick... | |
| B & W speaker upgrade suggestions If by main, you mean your front left and right speakers, try out the B&W 703s.If you mean all of them you could always go for B&W 7 series setup w/out a sub and save up for a new sub later. 2 * 703 = 3000 (fronts)2 * 705 = 1500 (backs)1 * ... | |
| My Meridian G08 doesnt as good as i thought ... I purchased a Meridian G08 but haven't received it yet. Right now I am using the stores burned in Meridian G08 as a loaner. It sounds incredible on my system, and I had a chance to compare it to other stuff in the 2-3.5 k range. I'll let you know ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money Oh, if you are good with bartering you should be able to get at least a 12% discount as well. I didn't pay 4k which is the MSRP, I got it at 12% less. | |
| Coping in an Age of Uncertainty My solution was to get a DVD player that handles all higher definition formats. I spent 3500 (USD) (w/out my 12% discount) on the Denon DVD-5910. I get HDCD, SACD, HDAD, DVD-A, all with top of the line Burr-Brown DACs. Great price point for everyt... | |
| What are the best CD Player around $3500? I tried out a number of players but was not happy with any of them until I brought home the Meridian G08. I didn't try out much else in the 4k range though, mostly stuff in the 2.5-3.5k range (USD). When I heard how clean and how cohesive all the ... | |
| The best CD Player for the money I love my Meridian G08 for the money. It really depends on how much you can spend. If your budget is 4k I recommend the Meridian. Ultimately, you should go listen for yourself and see if you like it compared to other players. Another consideration... |
