Wish list of higher quality recordings
A little off topic but.........I wish there was a high quality DVD concert of Dire Straits in DTS. Their live stuff sounds really good. 
Did I make a mistake buying Krell?
You have the amp so why not hook it up and make the decision for yourself??? If you don't like the sound you can sell the Krell and roll the cash into something else,but at least you'll have more of a clue of what will match better with your exist... 
Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max
I think a pair of PSB Stratus Silver i's(about 800-900 on the used market) would be a perfect fit. If you want to spend even closer to your budget PSB Stratus Gold i's(1000-1200 on the used market) You will definetly have alot of options with 1500...

Tweaks to Martin-Logan SL3s
martinloganowners.com There is a tweak forum and if this question hasn't been already answered-I'm sure you could get some valuable information regarding your SL3s. 
simple HDTV question.
If you have an HDMI out on your Hi/Def Sattelite reciever-and a HDMI in on your Hi/Def TV-thats the best way to go. It all depends on your outputs and inputs................ 
I'm FINALLY finished: new 2-channel system
I'm a firm believer you can accomplish both within the same system. If my system was limited to sitting in a sweet spot and listening to 2 channel only-there is no way I could justify the expense of the gear I have. I know there are the purists th... 
What is the difference btwn dolby digital and dts?
I'm not sure technically what the difference is....but DTS sounds alot better in my humble opinion. Its always a bonus when a movie or even better a concert DVD has a DTS version. 
what diff from rotel 1066 to 168? surr proc
I have the 1066. Its an excellent pre/pro. If your on a limited budget-forget the floor model I've seen them frequently here for 700-800 bucks. I also think its the perfect fit with your existing gear. 
What do you think is the best amp to go with
My theory reflects my fine restaraunt theory. In a really good restaraunt(although I don't eat much beef)I'll always order the steak. I know what I'm getting/and its hard to screw it up. Back to your question-Pass Labs X-250. You can get it used f... 
How does my set-up sound?
The way you describe your economic situation(lower middle)and your needs(parties and background music for other household activities) I wouldn't change a thing. Your already a step above Best Buy. You say you don't have a big room. It sounds like ... 
2-channel HT - which way would you go???
Rotel- and while your at it pick up a used 1066 pre/pro for about 800.00. The 1066 is one of the best audio bargains out there in my humble opinion. 
why doesnt "cd direct" sound better ??
I think it depends on the recording. I have the same feature on both of my recievers(Kenwood ,Marantz) When running an average recording through it without the CD direct-it sounds enhanced-but very listenable(for a reciever) When ran through CD di... 
Has MartinLogan gone too far with powered woofers?
Let your Summits break in-I have a hunch you'll be keeping them. 
Cleveland, OH
I second the "two thumbs down" on Bernie at Play It Again Sams. He practically wants retail for used gear. Back in the day before the internet PIAS was the only way locally to sell used gear. Thank God for AudioGon. Brownsanandy- If your looking f...
