Hgeifman...I've never had the problem that you've had with the favorites category. If I'm on the album and save it, it goes to albums, if I'm on the artist, it goes into the artist favorites.I just got done adding hundreds of artists to my favorit... 
Monolith III's or CLS IIZ's Pros and Cons
Zd542...yes, I was a KR dealer, (back in the day). That was a very popular combo, but did take up some room.I think one of the high-end mags at the time raved all about that combo. It was kind of a "Mini Martin Logan Statement" system.I think the ...

Where should I spend my $2000?
IMHO, you need to listen to the GoldenEars before you make a decision.The Model Sevens are $1395 a pair and the new Model Fives are $1995 a pair. Both are rated at 89db-90db, so they would work great with your PrimaLuna. I was surprised to see the...
