| anyone know John Doe and the Sadies? the album's called country club; it's good but not great--a bit too reverent for my tastes, not really the harder edged thing i was expecting. i prefer the sadies own stuff--they're a very tight guitar band. most of doe's solo work is also worth c... | |

| Setup for digital/pc based system? conceptually you're correct--you want to connect your pc to the cambridge cdp, which would then connect by rca cables to your amp. however, i believe the cambridge only has coax and optical digital inputs for the inboard dac (not usb), so either y... | |
| Energy RC or Veritas actually, the vr1s will extend quite a bit lower than the m20s--the vr1s are rated down to 40hz, but to my ears sound deeper and don't really need a sub. now, if you're gonna add a sub, which i thought wasn't feasible, i'd certainly keep the revel... | |
| Proac 1SC vs Dynaudio Focus 140 i'm in the upgrade the amp before the speakers camp. there's nuthin really wrong with you nad, but it's not the last word in delicacy or transparency and might not be the best match for the pardaigms, which are fine, transparent speakers. it think... | |
| Need set up help with Denon AVR 4802R this is from "batpig", a guy who wrote an online denon-to-english manual:A. There are two ways to hook up Zone 2 speakers to your Denon AVR: 1. If you are only running 5.1 in your main zone, you can reassign your SURROUND BACK amplifiers to power ... | |

| Energy RC or Veritas freckling, if you're budget costrained, get a pair of the vs vr1s, which pop up here regyularly for $500. they're a great looking, great sounding bookshelf which you'll own forever. | |
| Energy RC or Veritas I'm a big fan of the Energy line and am currently using Conniseur c-3s and cc-3 for my HT system; I've also previously owned the Veritas 2.3. I can't opine as to the RC line, but I'd expect they're substantially similar to the Conniseur, which the... | |
| Inexpensive USB DAC the v-dac is getting phenomenol reviews and would be my pick | |
| Subwoofer Suggestion i always recommend the hsu stf 1, which hsu is listing for $259 on their website-- a great value. if you want to go cheaper, energy and mirage make very musical little subs which you can easily find around $100-150 on ebay. | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 telescope et al:in fairness, i didn't hear the lsi15s coupled with top-flight electronics--my recollection is they were auditioned with a yamaha avr; i've also heard them with a low-to-middlin nad integrated. it could very well be that (unlike foc... | |
| bose acoustimass 10 i concur with the get 'em and sell 'em consensus. they really do sound like shit, but anything with the bose impriminatur commands a huge premium on ebay and craigslist--reap your shekels and buy yourself something nice. | |
| Polk LSI15 compared to Paradigm Studio 100 V4 telescope, i'm not sure i fully grasp your thread, but i think you're questioning my critique and faithfully defending your polks. no offense taken, of course--i defend my speakers more zealously than i defend my wife or kids. i did a/b the polks ... | |
| 5.1 / 2 Channel writeface:on the rear of your marantz you'll see preouts for all seven channels--you connect the power amp (using red/white analog cables) to the preouts marked front right and front left, respectively. your manual will show you the exact location... |
