Best older universal for CD playback??
Another vote for the Sony S9000ES. It does everything well. It Has most of the inputs/outputs. It is a heavy, rugged cd/sacd/dvd player well worth your consideration. I have one in my office system connected to an Eastern Electric Minimax DAC, sup...

Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800??
Tekton M-Lore, Vandersteen 1, Spica tc 50. Too me, the Lore wins by a wide margin.

Considering Upgrade to Shindo 753 Speakers, or ???
