   I think you're demonstrating poor judgement and rushed buying decisions.      Have you ever even considered or listened to a single high quality stereo or pair of monoblock class D amps with your speakers? The newer ones are compact, sip electr... 
Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
   If we're all now misguided enough to treat hypothetical posts seriously, then the solution for this phony scenario is not difficult:     A used Oppo 105 connected directly to an individual's choice of amp or amps will outperform virtually any A... 
Items for sale without remotes.
     I tend to steal a lot of hi-end stereo equipment and it really ticks me off when these audio nerds don't leave the remotes conveniently nearby.    I've also have about a dozen nuclear warheads without their trigger mechanisms.    What is it w... 
Life After Your Magnepan’s
Hello stickman451,     I’m glad you attained much better bass in your large room using a 3-sub custom DBA system. I can’t state I’m surprised since the 3-4 sub DBA system seems to work very well in any room and with any pair of main speakers. Welc...

Hello Jay, It seems like you want a system for 2-ch music and surround sound for television and recorded movies(home theater or HT). If so, I have a suggestion that will be a good transition from an AVR to higher quality separates that you can bui...

   Hello Rich,     I think a high quality integrated amp is a very good option with many advantages for some, but I'd recommend you choose one that you love the sound quality of with your current speakers and determine as best you can whether or n... 
Upgrading Maggie MGIIIa's to 3.7i - worth it?
Hello raueda1,     I agree that the bass from the IIIs, 2.7QRs and 3.7is are sufficiently good that many don't feel the need for subs or a bass system.  Understandably, however, I believe the vast majority just don't know what they don't know beca... 
What Possessed Me to Do This?
     Sell everything except the speakers and subs and buy some high quality class D amps that are about 20% the size and weight of your current amps and enjoy at least equal or better system performance.  Plus they'll pay for themselves over a num...
