| Opinions on Parasound A21 & A21+ I just visited the Parasound website and didn't realize their A52 amplifier is a 5 channel home theater amplifier. I settled for an ARCAM AVR550 instead. I wonder how much I gave up in terms of sound quality. I wanted to find something I could ... | |

As a result, they will often only carry the lower cost speaker models. For example, I went to a dealer who carries both Monitor Audio ... | |
| Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life! Great discussion overall. It's kind of like junk in junk out. Surprised you would ever waste your money on a Marantz. That's certainly not audiophile quality. | |
| Paradigm Persona series It seems like speaker cables must have some effect. It has been difficult for me to find a dealer where you can hear various cables to determine if there is a difference. I am a beginner and need to learn more.I listened to a lot of speakers bef... | |
