Tuner Vs. 4DTV music channels
The Dip Super Drive has a 3db gain on the BNC output. Maybe the digital satellite signal coming out of the ird (sat receiver) and being processed by the Dip SD into a good dac has a positive effect. But the sound is very good. Yes George, very cle... 
Tuner Vs. 4DTV music channels

What to upgrade first?
Those Prelude PFRs sound so good with low wattage SETs. Will get you close to class A sound with the tubes. This speaker listed for 4000. Also does well with inexpensive receivers. Well worth the hunt to audition with your own ears. If buy any cha...

Another 2,000 Speaker Question
Undertaker i'm by far not an expert and have not heard as much gear as many other posters. I'm sure that your questions are being answered by experienced and knowledgeable posters. They seem to be steering you quite well with valid answers. 
Another 2,000 Speaker Question
Undertaker, please don't lose fact, that which ever speaker you decide to audition, buy, demo etc. That you will be placing them on the long wall. Not all speakers and probably most will sound better on your short wall. I own Aerial 10t and this s...
