| Best Subwoofer for $500? A friend just picked up a Sunfire SuperJR for $600 at onecall.com. | |
| Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs Good point Rsbeck, Bayou Country is a stereo only disk. In my opinion, the sonic quality isn't that great. I was expecting more. | |
| Creedence Clearwater Revival SACDs I just received Bayou Country and haven't listened to it a whole lot. I have not been overly impressed so far. I have not tried the Redbook layer yet. Unfortunately it came in the same crop as Patrica Barber Cafe' Blue - now that is a high quality... | |
| I decided on Monitor Audio for my music, but Not to throw a monkey wrench into your search, but at $2500 there are more choices. An audition of the Von Schweikert VR-2s could prove worthwhile. I auditioned both the GR20 and GR60 in my system, nice speakers but I couldn't seem to warm up to t... | |
| "Must-have" SACDs Out There Picking up on jh2os's thread, on multichannel disks, is the SACD Stereo mix kind of a minimum requirement that may not get the same level of attention and qualty as in stereo only SACDs? I guess it makes sense that stereo only SACDs would in gener... | |

| Von Schweikert VR-4jr owners, your thoughts? I've had mine for about 1 month but just re-configured my room last weekend to take advantage so I am still hunting for the perfect placement. I am still breaking in Analysis Plus Oval 9 bi-wire cables and Analysis plus interconnects. I also went ... | |
| speakers on fireplace hearth??? I just finished reconfiguring my room because of the hearth problem. For 8 years I've had one speaker up on the hearth and one on the floor. I got new speakers and decided to re-wire everything so that I could get the right speaker placement and I... | |
| B&W 703 or VR4 jr? I just bought the VR4JR and had looked hard at the B&W 703 and 804. The VS's are really great speakers and to me sounded much better sounding all around. If you get a chance check them out. | |
| Newbie Question I'd highly recommend SACD, it is incredible and well worth it. I went with the Denon 2900. | |
| Monitor Audio GR60 vs B&W I expect to be listening to a lot of 5.1 SACD, and I think that is the rationale for the 5 GR60's, but I don't have either the budget nor the space to really consider that as an option. | |
| Monitor Audio GR60 vs B&W Thanks for the feedback so far, one other question. How big a difference would bi-wiring make. The dealer where I'm looking at the GR60's doesn't have them bi-wired and claims that since he is using a Sunfire 400W amp, it wouldn't matter. If I'm a... | |
| Seperates vs Sunfire Ultimate Receiver I debated and debated this question and looked at Sunfire seperates, Anthem, Rotel and came to the conclusion from talking to a lot of people that the Ultimate Receiver offered 99.99% of the performance of the seperates. In the case of the Sunfire... | |
| I auditioned SACD today I've had an SACD player for 2 months now and I am still amazed at how great it sounds and what a difference this format makes. I did see a bit of an improvement in regular CD'and concert DVD's from the upgrade to a decent quality DVD player but SA... |
