B&W HTM-61
Merlinus:I just purchased one today and am listening right now. I can't imagine why this would receive a negative review. The HTM61 is the correct matched CC speaker for the 683's. To me, the mid-range, vocals, and upper bass are all well balanced...

B&W 685's and 686's. Audition them before you make any decisions. FANTASTIC !! 
Where are the female Audiophiles?
This is an excellent topic and one that bugs me a great deal too. I believe single women living on their own would be more prone to be interested in a good system and seek advice. Some years back in the 80's/maybe early 90's, my wife and I had a s... 
rear surround speaker
I recommend the B&W M-1's (mini-theaters they call them). They're compact in size, can be wall mounted, and employ a metal dome tweeter with the B&W Nautilus tapered tube technology and neodymium magnets to minimize standing waves. They ar... 
PICK ONE... ONKYO 805 or MARANTZ 8001

Achieving a speakers max potential
Assuming the power is clean and of high quality and the concern for blowing the speaker is not there, what I'm asking about is the speaker's potential performance. You know how when you go and audition speakers, the salesman will always try to use... 
A-V receiver power ratings
Saki70:Thanks very much for the in-depth explanation above. Wow, there's much to digest here. So what you're saying is that the higher the amperage and lower the voltage, the better the receiver will be in power, its ability to drive speakers, and... 
A-V receiver power ratings
Saki70:Could you elaborate or further explain what you mean by "the amount of current behind those watts"? That would help me tremendously. Do you mean in voltage? Thanks. 
5.1 newbie - rear speaker position questions
Brjoon1021:According to the experts, the 2 surround sound or rear satellite speakers should be located directly to the sides of the listener at the walls (listener sitting in the middle of the room of course) or slightly behind the listener and 2'... 
All about the bass
Lilu:Very good topic and one where you should get a split in opinions. This is just my view: the benefit of using a sub woofer is that you can regulate your bass extension from one CD to the next by simply adjusting the settings on the back of the... 
What do you use for isolation?
Vibrapods for my CD and DVD players. Great. 
Digital Playback Comparison
Wouldn't this depend on the quality of the CD burner? I read the article by Robert Harley mentioned above but didn't see the type of burner used. Did I miss that?
