| Any feedback on TANNOY? If you listen to classical music these are for you. I'm thinking about buying a pair of Saturn 8 ot 10 (Saturn is the cheapest series to have the dual-concentric) or Definition- 500 (the name says it all). I found the sound very truthfull to the r... | |

| The best CD Player for the money Take any CD or DVD as transport. Add a Monarchy Audio DIP upsampler + DH Labs D-75 coaxial cables and any good external 24/96 DAC and you'll have outstanding Digital front end for few bucks. |
