Which component upgrade will produce more BASS?
Agree also with Audiofeil. 
Good entry level cd?
Does the DVD have digital outputs?If so, pick up a decent used DAC and just use that with the DVD player for the best sound improvement for the $$$s. 
DBX Expander
Crem1:I had a similar single band 118 at one time and did not like it in general for expansion in my system...too much pumping and breathing introduced with only a single band. I did use it on occasion for compression in order to listen to recordi... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Zkzpb8:The Ohms are very neutral so they let the sound of the DAC come through. Each DAC will sound different.I'm using the Paradisea with both my Denon player/recorder source and a Roku Soundbridge for accessing a music server and internet radio.... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Note that the large Ohm 5's in my system are much harder to drive properly as I described above than the much smaller 100s. Micros should be easier still.I likely will someday go to a higher power amp that also doubles into 4 and 2 ohms for the la... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
100s with ~120w/ch Musical Fidelity A3CR.It mostly doubles power into 4 and 2 ohms which helps deliver a balanced sound top to bottom with the Ohms at low to moderate volume.It replaced a 360w/ch Carver m4.0t which did not at all nearly double int... 
Favorite Speakers at RMAF
Tvad,Wouldn't surprise me having never heard either, but why? 
Favorite Speakers at RMAF
I don't get the Acapella design. Seems like a lowest common denominator design, a mishmash of horn and dynamic drivers that would compomise the best qualities of each.This is just my impression from what I have seen and read about them. Never actu... 
DBX Expander
Opalchip,Nice read about the dbx gear. Thanks.The compression on the 5bx sounds useful for apartment dwellers or others that must listen to wide range recordings at lower volumes.I have a 3bx and used to have a 118 single band expander/compressor.... 
Why do dealers do this?
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rebbe,Any trace of too much "sound bouncing off the walls" and adversely affecting imaging? I know imaging accuracy was one of the areas that you had concerns about with the Ohms early on in your search.This is one of the areas that the newer seri... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I really think your Unico hybrid amp is practically a perfect match to bring out the best in the Ohms, so I think you will be very well set.The Ohms are one of the few low cost speaks I know that are capable of transcending their class in regards ... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Yay, I'm not whacked (nuts), or if I am I'm not alone!I'm thrilled that you are thrilled so far. 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
I'm not certain but I don't think the smaller CLS drivers on the micros take too long to come into their own when.

Tbg + Audiofeil,Where were you guys before last nights presidential debate? McCain and Obama could have both used some witty retorts!
