Best Sounding used amplifier under 1000???
No doubt. Take a look. The aother BEAUTY of this amp, being a 4 channel amp, you can BIAMP you speakers and pretty sure you will not find cleaner, more robust power than the Madrigal/Citation 7.1. NOW, if HT is not a concern, roll with the tubes!Dan 
Which would you buy?
Goldnut - This is a VERY easy answer! Lexicon DC-1. I have owned both for long periods of time, the EAD is better in 2 channel, but since you state 'primarily home theater' there is NO better processor (and I would challenge those that say the MC-...

What's the best 5 channel for less then 1K?
Here is an amplifier suggestion:Buy FOUR NAD 2400's (about $250 each) and bridge (or if possible, BIAMP) two for right and left, bridge (or if possible, BIAMP) the third for a center channel and use the fourth for surrounds!LOADS of high current o... 
Hi-end DVD/CD Machine vs. Hi-end CD Player/Transpo
FYI -If DTS DVDs are important to you, avoid the Faroudja (Toshiba based 3006) DVD player. It does not send the DTS signal, but a great transport.Dan 
Dead advice on high end stereo/HT mix
Keis,If you are looking for a dedicated home theater preamp, there is no better unit or value than the Lexicon DC-1.These can be had preowned in the $1,000-1,400 range.You will not find better processing than this for the price.I would actually ma... 
Carver Silver 7t's
JAMESWEI and SEAN !!Thanks for the GREAT insight! These amplifiers have a very warm sound and it makes sense now. I am pleasantly surprised that years later these amplifiers can still sound so good. I also understand he tried to make his $40K amps... 
Safe audiogon transactions; lowering the bar.
This is a great topic! I will explain my understanding.Example:Buyer sends payment to the seller for a preowned Velodyne HGS-18 subwoofer.SELLER has both the sub AND money! ACCORDING TO INSURANCE COMPANIES (AllState, Farmers, etc.) if the unit is ... 
Best used solid state amp for Energy C8 1500 Max
Subsonic -There is one amplifier I would highly recommend that was no where on your list. I like Bryston amplifier, but you should not pass up the Citation 7.1. It is a Madrigal product and is a 4 channel amplifier. 150x4 into 8 ohms, you have man... 
Chiro 5.1 and C-800
The EAD is, but apparently, some of these 5.1's are only DTS ready where some are actually DTS. Mine is not!Thanks fot the help!Dan 
Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500
Well, my two cents:The B&W 802II is a great choice, I agree! However, they do require substantial power, clean at that. With this said, the 805's for about $850 AND a Sunfire True sub (about $650-750) is EXTREMELY tought to beat AND the 805's ... 
Plinius 250III or the Levinson 333
Well, I listened to the Plinius IV but not the Levinson.The IV sounds MUCH better than the McIntosh MC-352 I use now! The sound stage is incredible! It completely opened up, maybe because of the autoformers?The Plinius has an enormous amount of re... 
Great Progessive Scan and Great CD Playback?
For all the people stating individual CD transports are best for CD listening, has anyone listened to the McIntosh MLD-7020 (LD/CD) as a transport? It is apparently one of the best kept secrets in CD players. The transport is incredible, wonderful...

Has anyone purchased a Mitsubishi big screen TV?
The Mitsubishi television are wonderful! The picture is wonderful, completely HD ready, you can't go wrong. I bought my TV as a floor model from the GoodGuys here in SF. Part of my negotiating was a 7 year in home warranty, which includes all the ...
