| Musical 5-channel power amp under $600 used? I would think the trends would not cut it with ht. Get a used emotiva 5-channel amp. Or a new Emotiva UPA-5 for $549. Very powerful and their stuff very well reviewed. | |

| Bellari 129 or phono imput on my onkyo pre/pro My guess is the bellari, but the onkyo might surprise. Listen to the pre you have for while and if you feel the sound is overly dry or something is missing, add the tubes later. | |

| The $5000.00 Complete System Challenge I agree on the integrated amp vs separates in this price range. I would spend about 1K on cd, 1.5-2K on integrated amp, and 2-2.5K on speakers. If you are willing to sacrifice the lowest octives, you are going to get better sound per dollar out of... | |

| Audiophile speakers that rock well I agree with the posters who suggest the best way to reproduce rock (or full orchestra) music is with larger format speakers that excell at recreating the "scale" of the origninal performance. It is tough to beat the "wall of sound" you get from a... | |
| Best Match for Dynaudio Contour S3.4? I feel bad about that bum steer. I really enjoyed listing to the ARC-Contour combination, but it was with an ARC pre and a really good Simaudio CDP. The fact that you have enjoyed the Contours with a different amp indicates there is a path to happ... | |
