| How selective are you? .Sadly, I'm with Cruz. With Pandora and Rhapsody, I'm pretty much all set. I have 1,000 cd's that I rarely play, 3,000 LP's that I never play. Will I ever sell any of my music collection? Never!. | |

| Magnepan 20.1 versus Infinity IRS Beta .Because you don't mention the 20.7, price must be a concern. You can buy a set of Betas, if you can find them for around $5-6k and Maggies around $7-9k. I would suggest getting the Maggies and a pair of good subs. The Betas are great speakers, bu... | |
