Where are the subs?
Hello dbphd,     I'm glad you're enjoying your system so much in a new room.  However, I believe your initial experiences in your new room are more a fortunate combination of factors than something you can rely on experiencing on a consistent basi... 
What is the least compressed signal?
geoffkait,     Everything you stated about Redbook cd makes sense to me but, if you don't mind, I'd like to know if you or any other tread readers have experienced direct to digital recordings of live music converted to,and played back as, 24 Bit/...

Separates suggestions appreciated
Hello paulsax,    Yes, option#2 would definitely be the least expensive but it does nothing in terms of your desire to migrate away from using an A/V receiver and toward using separates.  In my opinion, it actually complicates matters by using you... 
Separates suggestions appreciated
paulsax:"migrating to separates during an upgrade to 4k before too long. Currently running a Pioneer Elite SC-07. No specific complaint but I think separates would allow me to keep my amp (and get a good one) without being obsoleted by the video e...

+1 for islandmandan     A class D amp is the way to go if you want hi-end performance at a reasonable price.  Owners of mega-buck power amps rarely have positive opinions of them, however, because it's just too embarrassing how similar good class ... 
If some is good, is more better?

My experience adding subwoofers to 2 channel
Hello clio09,      I've read about your Acoustat 2+2 electrostatic speakers mainly in the Stereophile review attached below but have never heard them myself. Based on this and their specs I've come to believe we're both looking for similar improv...
