New One-box Accuphase Cd and SACD player?
I am assuming that you are talking about the DP-85(v?), which is yet to be released in the U.S.? One of my Japanese magazines quoted the price at 880,000 yen, which comes to about US$7,000. In other word, it will cost $14,000+ here...so the retail...

Hi Rowidick,I am auditioning for a pre/pro/amp comb for my NHT HT setup as well. Which pre/pro are you using with the NHTs? 
Absorbtion?
A friend of mine was also battling his L-shaped living/listening room. Currently he is putting his system in the corner diagonally toward the other corner of the L with good results. Maybe you can give that a try if space permits. Another possibil...

rock and roll cd player
The best CD player for rock music that I found is the Linn Genki or the more expensive Ikemi, combined with all Linn electronics and Linn speakers. You can find the Linn cdp readily available in the used market. Alternatively, also try the Adcom 7...

The best sub $1000 cd player
Hi Jack,There are some earlier thread on sub-1k CD players; search for them in the forums. Personally I found the Adcom GCD-750 (about $700-used) to be a great bargain...Happy Listening! 
Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile???
Eyeman,Sounds like you are quite satisfied with the 202 driving your B&Ws, which I understand are not the easiest speakers to drive in the world. As for 7.1 and 5.1 analog bypass, the lack of analog bypass would be a problem since I would like... 
Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile???
Eyeman,Funny that you mentioned the B&K, since someone else just made a similiar suggestion, except that he recommended the newer models (305/307). Do you use the 202 in your own system? How do they compare to the newer models?Thanks for any c...

All Value System Under 5K
hey ladies/gents, could we please stay on the topic? I hate to interrupt, but fellow Audiogoners' English skills have nothing to do with "All Value System Under 5K"...even I, an ESL (English-as-Second-Language) speaker, can understand that...8-)Si... 
All Value System Under 5K
Sibelius,From your experience with the Stratos and the Newforms, do the Newforms need much power (>100w/ch) for optimal performance? I understand that their sensitivity is at 91db...so are you converting the Stratos to monoblocks because of pow... 
All Value System Under 5K
Sibelius,Sorry I forgot to mention this in my last post....how do you like the Stratos with the Newform speakers? I am interested in audition the speakers as one of my next upgrades, so any info and insights are welcome!
