| Blu-Ray movies Cruz 123,That is an interesting list. Subjectively, I think "Tier Zero" is aptly named... kinda makes me wonder who is providing input. It looks to me like the over-saturated colors and rapid motion of computer animated features carried the day wi... | |
| OPPO BDP 83 as Redbook player? If concerned about mod'ing the Oppo BDP-83, how well does it work as a transport with - say a DACMagic or Benchmark DAC? Anybody go this route? | |
| Best Used Amp/Preamp/CD Combo Under $1k You can get away with less power for the efficient Triangles and a tube hybrid is a good idea - the warmer the better. While I typically like NAD gear on a budget - I have not been impressed by the synergy of their amps with Triangle speakers. Dou... | |

| Dissapointed with my new speakers Mb9061,If you are talking about the MA Gold series - they have a reputation for being overly bright - while the Silver and Bronze series (less expensive!) sound pretty darn good. | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers I think the Denon should be adequate for use with most of the Totem models except maybe the Hawks and the Mani II. All Totems I have listened to have terrific imaging relative to other speakers of similar size and cost. I think what large floor st... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Interesting. Because there seemed be some concern about bass weight, I completely skimmed over the Totem Arros, but Mapman knows I am a huge fan of those. Agree on the power requirements for that speaker, but the imaging is fantastic and the attra... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Mb9061,Just curious, what were you using to drive the Monitor Audios? The Silver RS6 is a pretty balanced speaker - I auditioned several times with large Denon receivers which are not the last word in amplification. Sounded pretty good overall eve... | |
| Dissapointed with my new speakers Another speaker that might be a stretch new but is gorgeous looking and sounding is the Quad 21L2. These little two ways look like they came out of the Steinway piano production facility and have a marvelously balanced sound to go with the stunnin... | |

| Dissapointed with my new speakers Part of the problem is the Klipsch speakers are super efficient, so comparing their performance to the B&W straight across is like tying two arms and a leg behind your amplifier's back. Not trying to defend the B&W 600's, but this is not a... | |
| looking for performance speaker recommendations More food for thought:Given your suggestion about the Energy brands, you could get a new Energy 7.1 speaker system consisting of two Energy C200 bookshelf speakers as fronts, four Energy C100 bookshelf speakers as satellites, Energy C-C100 center ... | |
| looking for performance speaker recommendations Here are some more ideas for larger and more expensive bookshelf speakers systems. All of these manufacturers make serviceable to very good subs and center speakers to go with these great bookshelf systems. If the price new is too steep, look for ... | |
| Cambricge 840v2 vs NAD 372? as interim amp You cannot go wrong on any of these - Peachtree is wonderful as well. I had similar experience as described by Johnnyb53 with their lesser model. In any case - they all deserve an upgraded power cable - nothing too fancy needed, but would definite... |
