What's more important speakers or amplification?
agreed. speakers aren't worth it if the amplification isn't up to their standards. but, if you spend 2200 on 2 channel amplification and 1000 on speakers, you could get a really nice sounding little system. maybe a used linn amp with some used kel... 
MC cartridge that best mates with RB300 arm....
dynavector mc carts are perfect for rega, imho. 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?

Can any one tell me if a progressive scan dvd play

Best Audio AND Video stores in Dallas/FW?
when looking for audio software, be sure not to miss bill's records. you name it, he's got it. the only bad thing is that he knows how badly you want it and he'll make you pay a pretty penny for it. 
Used DAC or Used CD Player???

they'll work with any amount of power, but they want lots and lots to truly sound their best. those are fantastic speakers, but they're terribly inneficient. i'd recommend no fewer than 300 wpc. 
Brightness Differences Between Daytime and Evening

"Pro" Active Monitors
i personally use ATC active 50's and highly recommend that you take a listen to them as well. the active 10's and 20's are wonderful bookshelf-style speakers and i prefer them to the tannoy line.listen to both, though, and decide form there. you m... 
DVD vs. LD visually.
yeah, i find that on some ld's, the colors are truer. plus, ld's never suffer from pixellation.it just depends on the quality of the video transfer. some of my dvd's blow their ld counterparts out of the water. as far as sound goes, my ld player s...
