What's good used 5.1pre/pro for $1500 or less
I second the Anthem AVM-2. I owned one for over two years ans moved to the AVM-20. It was a lateral move. Also, they have a pass through for stereo listening.Good luck, 
PC to DAC to PreAmp
dividox,Sounds like a sweet setup. I heard the creek/epos equipment at the Show and was impressed when it was setup properly. Now, the woman running the demo has a little cold.Enjoy, 
How do I design a home audio system?

How do I design a home audio system?
Slappy,I just program the home automation stuff. Too old, to beat up to do anything else. Most of these expensive systems use a lot of midfi equipment. Most of the money goes into making really easy to use and hiding the equipment. For the most pa...

Ribbon tweeters/speakers recommendations Please
drrdiamond,Check out the Martin-Logan Montage and Mosiac loudspeakers. They use something called an AFT tweeter. From its tech description, it looks like a ribbon tweeter to me. Yes, I do know the difference between an elestatic and a ribbon speak...

Regarding people selling equipment to U.S.A. only
