Yes it should work great. 
What speaker for being close to rear wall?
Br3098- Thanks for your input.I've tried both of those. Couldn't get AN's to sound good. They were flat. 2 dimensional. The dealer wants to try again but they just didn't sound right in my room.A while back I tried an electronic room correction de... 
What speaker for being close to rear wall?
Clio09- I heard those, and I think highly of Duke. He has a new design that is made to sit right up against the wall and the drivers are at a 45 degree angle. That is exactly the type of solution I'm trying to find.Does anyone have experience with... 
What speaker for being close to rear wall?
The rear wall would apply from the speaker's standpoint. I know many refer to that wall from the listener's standpoint hence the description of "front wall". At least we're all clear on that now!

Best Speaker for Ongaku
I would talk to Neli at Audio Federation. They have an Ongaku and will have experimented with many different combinations. However I don't think you could go wrong with Audio Note speakers as long as you have symmetrical corners in your room. They...

Bryston BDA-1 Best connection?
Summitav-Thanks for your comments. Have you heard an improvement using BNC versus RCA?Mike 
Berkeley vs Antelope anyone compared ?
Impressions? 
HD Tracks--clock with sundial?
Unless you ordered 20+ albums something is wrong. However your internet speed could be contributing. Suggest you contact them, or start over. Perhaps you have a faster connection at work you can use instead? 
amp recommendation for Dynaudio Sapphire
The 33H is an excellent amp however the overall sound will be similar in tonal character. If you like what you, you will like the 33H more. If you long for a change then you won't get it. 
McIntosh with Aerial speakers
MAC will be fine. Our local Aerial dealer has MAC gear on 20t's and they sound great together.However I think there may be better choices. I bi-amped 20t's w/ Rowland after trying many things and they really blossomed with the extra drive. I was u... 
What does "pre out" rca output do?
Pre outs usually bypass the amplifier section so the unit becomes a preamp. Connect source (CD, etc.), run RCA from pre out to amp input. The amp will drive the speakers separately from the amp section in the integrated. 
Where to listen
Most items are also for sale as demos and most presenters are dealers. But if you determine what you want, then you can determine what the best way to obtain it is.
