Very nice review! Brent - I have several questions as I'm in the market for a new digital player and don't want to be without one for a significant period of time.Is there a waiting list for work to be performed for either model? If so how long is... 
Totem Rainmaker OR Epos M5???
I think the Epos M5 is superior to the Rainmaker. The Rainmaker's frequency response is tilted up in the highs and in the lower frequencies. If you want to hear the "sparkle" as you say, then buy the Rainmakers. However the M5 will have less liste...

Where to audition Totem, Epos NYC
I auditioned the Totem dreamcatcher against the Epos els3 at In Living Stereo and bought the Epos. IMO the Totem was very appealing on most pop and jazz recordings. When I put on a classical orchestral cd, it became apparent that the Epos was the ... 
Best budget bookshelf speakers for 3-600 dollars.
I recommend the Epos els 3 speakers (list for $329). Very good sound(read the reviews), attractive, and work well on a bookshelf. Good luck. 
Help Speakers trapped on bookshelves
Roger,I'm in the same boat as you. I have been relegated to a small room off the kitchen (8' by 10'). I have my rig on a workbench brand desk where the equipment and speakers are on the top shelf, right above my pc monitor. So that right, I'm list... 
I am thinking of buying the Avalon Osiris.
I suggest that you consider the current Avalon top-of-the-line, the Sentinel. If Neil Patel decided to replace the Osiris with the Sentinel it's all for good reasons. I trust his ears and believe in the forward progression in technology that creat...

Best bet is to contact the company. Also you may want to speak to your local dealer (second). Ideally you would want to get a home demo before purchasing them.

Which Amp for Magnepan MG 3.6/R?
I've used both Spectral 150 Series I and Bel Canto Evo2 amplifiers. The Evo2 sounded great with it! A big soundstage with detail and solid bass. The highs had good extension. For the money (I believe $2900) a good alternative. Given all of the ide... 
Patricia Barber - New Live CD
I went to see her last night in New York City. Good show, she did alot of the material that appears on "Fortnight". This recording is not a recap of all her prior material; alot of it is new, to my ears. It appears the band is shifting direction, ...

is creek5350se best integrated for 1000-1200 bucks
I recently bought a Creek 5350SE. Am using it with Audio Phyic Brilon II, Rega Jupiter, and Nordost cabling. I'm quite happy with it---its quite neutral. I also liked its looks, and it fit into my space requirements. It's been highly reviewed in m...
