Any UFC fans out there?
I am a big fan also. Didn't see the fight but expected Liddel to win. No one can take him to the ground and he hits with extreme accuract and power. I can understand people who don't like it but I appreciate the effort the fighters put into the ma...

Vandersteen 2Ce Signature II
Jolida model 1000 EL34 100 watt integrated will manhandle it. New at $2,400.00 , used for less. Several for sale now. I auditioned one and was amazed at the control it had on Dali Helicons. Phil Brady.

What do I need for my sound system
I listen to movies in 2.1 sound and have no reason to go 5.1 for now. Saki70 has the right idea. Get a self biasing el34 tube amp with subwoofer output. Consonance and Jolida come to mind in this price range along with the Prima Luna. Phil Brady.

Dali Helicon 400 or Acoustic Zen Adagio?
The Dali is warmer in presentation with more of a midbass prominence and need more space from rear and sidewalls to "disappear". The Adagio have more top end detail but less bass extension. Both are excellent choices. The Adagio is not on the warm... 
Best setup for Totem Arros...
Should be great with what you are figuring. If you can audition an integrated tube amp it is worth your while. Whatever amplification you choose keep the Apollo. Phil Brady. 
Bookshelf speakers for HDTV

RUSH on INHD...
