Anthem AVM20 How Good?
They'll pry mine from my cold dead hands. The best pre/pro for under $3500.00. Other pre/pros auditioned: parasound 2500, Sunfire Theater Grande III, Krell showcase, Sunfire Theater Grande II, Adcom 860 and 880. 
Best HT pre-pro with 2 channel audio bypass
Give the Anthem AVM20 a listen; a lot of bang for the buck.Good luck, 
Dish satelite vs Cable quality?
I've had the chance to compare both HD cable and Dish network HD sat on my panasonic HD projector. On HD it is a toss up as far as video quality goes. On regular tv I would give the nod to Sat. I went with HD cable because the offer more HD channe... 
Use of Camelot Uther with SACD player???
There is no digital output when playing SACD's. This is the way they inforces copy protection on SACD's. The only output you get when playing SACD's is from the left and right anolog outputs.If the Uther has analog inputs like a pre-amp then you c... 
Question for the subwoofer specialists...
RBH - cheap and a lot of bang for the buck. 
good amplifier for Paradigm atoms
Try monarchy audio. I use an Sm70 25watt/channel class A amp driving a pair of B&W LM1's. Signal source is a M-Audio Soundboard. I do about 70% of my listening on the computer and this setup is very satisfying.Main System for reference:Philips... 
Affordable musically fast subwoofer
Rbh. I use one with a pair of b&W N805sig's with great success. 
Use of Camelot Uther with SACD player???
No digital out when playing SACD's. Will work fine when playing redbook CD's. So, if you want to listen to SACD's you'll have to run it through a pre-amp.Good luck, 
Do you have a dedicated listening room?
I have a dedicated HT/listening room. The room measures 20x16 with 12' ceilings. 48 custom sound treatment panels on the walls (thanks to RIVES for the info). The equipment is housed in a custom cabinet built into the wall with access to the rear ... 
Are internet sales taking business or not?
I wouldn't mind paying more if I got some service. You don't give me any service; you don't get my money. It's that simple. I walked into a local dealer about three months ago to purhase a pair of B&W N805sigs. He didn't have them hooked up an... 
Has the B&W S805 actually changed from N805?
I purchased a pair of N805sigs about 3 months ago. If contains a different tweeter, woofer and crossover than the "stock" N805's. Also, as dave mentioned, the finish is different. It does not share any drivers with the N802's. The surround is diff... 
Whis is better B&W CDM 9NT or Signature 805?
I've auditioned the 805sigs and the N802's in my friends system which consisted of an ML dac/transport, krell pre and aragon palladium mono's(4). Speaker wire was cardas golden cross and the room is 22x16 with 10' ceilings. The 805sigs imaged bett... 
Whis is better B&W CDM 9NT or Signature 805?
805sig is better; in a different class. 
Best stand mounted monitors
I second the B&W N805 Signitures. A few months ago I was in the market to upgrade my "stock" n805's. Listened to about a dozen different manufaturers (made my wife drive me all over the NJ, NY, PA, DE area) and ended up with the N805 sigs. IMO... 
Philips 963sa or NAD?
I own the Philips 963SA which I modded with the blackgate cap in the power supply. It's hard to beat for the price (about $430.00 with the mod). I am not familiar with the NAD units, though. Past DVD players include Denon DVD5000, Denon DVD2800, D...
