Best amp for Sonus Faber Concertino Home
Thanks for the feedback, someone else told me Audio Refinement amps are nice (same maker as YBA). 
Has anyone heard Soundstream M3 THX amps
thanks for the info, that helps.....Jeff 
Opinions on the ulitmate dvd demo...
These are all good demos. Just a couple more that I like is: Terminator2 Fight seen in the bar and getting on the Harley(listen to the shotgun and the shell fall). Also I always demo SPEED when tweeking my system, scene where they race to the buil... 
Need Suggestion on Good HT processor new or used?
I've owned the Lexicon DC-1 for a few years now and would not trade it for the world. If you like to tweek every little aspect of you 7.1 channel set-up, then try to find one of these used. Not much difference to the newer models worth the extra c... 
Need help on speaker choice
Go demo the Monsoon FPF-1000's they are amazing especially for the price. 
Vienna Acoustics Hyden vs. B&W CDM1's
I came close to buying the hayden's myself after hearing them, the Viennas have an amazing sound. I also listen to mainly rock and some jazz. I wouldn't recommend the vienna's for rock but would recommend the Monitor Audio GR10's, better for rock(... 
Best HT speaker system
I have a Lexicon DC-1 with (7.1channel) M&K's set up. front is s-125's sides and rears are s-85's and two MX-150THX subs. For strictly home theater you can't beat M&K. 
Best powered Subwoofer for HT only... Under 1000
If you want very inexpensive and good sound for the money, the Energy ES-8 goes for about $300 each. you could get two of them and believe me, because I owned one, you'll be amazed at the sound. I'll admit it's not the best, I own all M&K's ri... 
The Infinity IL60s or Vienna Acoustics Beethoven
I have heard both speakers and if you enjoy quality music listening definitely go with the Vienna's. They are not the best for HT, but would be good if the majority of your listening is 2-channel. Not even a contest between the two the vienna's ar... 
Opinions on M&K MX-5000THX Sub. Or best Sub
I use two M&K MX-150THX's (got them half price at tweeter, that's why I have two). I've listened to the v series, don't bother. I've had energy which is fairly good, but the 150's sound great. I don't even use the THX mode. If you have a small... 
Need help on speaker choice
I have owned Martin Logan Request, Acoustat, Klipschorns, Carvers, Infinity, ETC. I will tell you that with a good powerful amp, I wish I still had my Carvers. I am currently set up with an M&K home theater which is amazing but for my 2-channe... 
Still Contemplating New Amp Choices..
I've used many different amps in my various systems: Acurus, carver, Golden Tube, Aragon, B&K, Rotel, and many more. Unless you have the big bucks(and get a Krell), my opinion is that you can't beat the Rotel Amps. With everthing I've had and ...
