| 2-channel listening with a sub-woofer Xiekitchen, I'm aware they've been around a long time...I've just never heard one myself in a high end 2- channel setup...and the overwhelming majority of the 2 channel systems that I've seen posted here on the 'Gon don't run a sub.I'm considering... | |

| Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas? Pescolar, $500 is something. It's $500. They make you pay all $500 of it up front....not .27 cents a day over 5 yrs. A 25% warranty is excessive. | |
| Are extended warranties necessary on plasmas? Geez Semi, you just bummed me out. The money was burning a hole in my pocket to get one of those cool and sexy flat panels hanging on my wall.

| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii Bemopti123, you had the wrong Carver Amps. The bridged as monos Mt 4.0 amps don't like loads below 8 ohms, which is why they didn't sound good for you. The Silver 9t is head and shoulders above the Mt 4.0. The Silver 9t monoblocs bring my Kappas u... | |

| Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii You might be able to find a used Carver c-19 tube preamp in your price range. The Carver C-16 solid state will be a good choice for you also.
