Most organic / real / analogue sounding DAC (ideally with Volume Control) for $1500??????
I own a McIntosh D150 and I'm very pleased.  I find it warm and impressionable especially with higher resolution files. 
Subwoofers
Too funny how I would see this thread, since I was just thinking the other day how well my Definitive Super Cube 1 was performing. 10" 1500 watt Class D. Also within my system there are also 2 Definitive Tech. 14" 1800 watt Class D subs inside my ... 
Help! My system is very bright it hurts my ear
Room treatments are a big plus but just in case no one has made this suggestion,  adjust the crossover frequency and LFE in puts through your pre amp. Personally I'm a tweaker running the same audio / video file until I get it right. You may find ... 
Too much power?
I've running some Definitive 7000Sc, Mythos One's, Eights and Tens with a Denon 4308CI. It's for sale to a good home. It's my third Denon Reciver and all have given me good service. I've just ordered a McIntosh MX122 to replace it. Send me a PM if... 
Anyone Demo the McIntosh MX122?

I'm in N Alabama. I have a Marantz dealer close and have reached out for a demo. Your point about used is a good one and that's one of the reasons I've moved to separates from an AVR. Making it easier to keep up with tech. What is a Oppo?

My question is can I add power and find those nuggets or should I forget the power and find the right processor? The processor it is. MX122, Marantz 8802A??

Lol thank you. Good points. I had auditioned the 8080HD and frankly (it could have been me), but it didn't even come close to making the grade. To me it sounded "thin and without body". I wish that wasn't the case, it would have saved me about $6K...

Sounds in the front may come from a single speaker, or they may be created with L&C or C&R speakers, and that is a problem with the mismatch. So the sensitivity would create a path of least resistance and push gain left or right? If I can...

Sure, nice! I'm already Bi-wired - Thanks I'll check it out.
