What is a really good sounding low volume system??
Elizabeth, yes the Maggie's would fit well in a room, but I'm assuming that the woman is the decorator of the home and audio equipment would be secondary to her design. We'll have to hear what B_limo thinks.

Wow, that's some great advice from Buconero117.And as for the 2.7qr for $600, only buy them if your GF knows ahead of time about 2 monoliths in her home.

"I believe that Amazon has actually pushed down prices almost across the board for many commoditized items, much as Wal Mart did. I don't really know if that's a good thing though. They left a lot of carnage in their wake."I believe that. But by t...

Tomcy6... the private sellers charge per cd or dvd, no discounts for multiple items. They are also selling them at a lower cost than Amazon. This info is on their "Storefront."I have been paying $2.98 shipping for many years but it's been worth it...

Looking to Upgrade my CDP
Newbee...appreciate the advice.I'm using 1957 Amperex and the soundstaging is out-of-thisworld. BUT they do have that sting at the top end. 
Amp repair...What to expect.
