Help me with a major amp upgrade...
Thank you all. I appreciate the feedback and suggestions. It seems that I have a lot of good options and my problem is that I can not demo the units in my house before I buy the amp. I will do some more reading I guess and then just buy one of the... 
Its time to try a tube amp...
Wow...no ideas whatsoever? Does this mean this cannot be done? 
Good cables for my rear speakers
Hi,Thank you for all of your comments. I think I will go for one of the cheaper alternatives that you've suggested. Regards, Raanan 
Review: JMLab Electra 920.1 Speaker
Hi,We are actually using a very similar setup. I have a HT / music setup which is consisted of Electra 920.1 as mains, the Electra CC 30 center and one pair of the Electra 905 as surrounds. I am very happy with the 920.1 in both HT and 2-channel m... 
How does audio playback sound on Toshiba SD-9200
Hi,The CD audio on this player is VERY good and I am very satidfied with mine as a CD player. It is built like a tank and I am very happy with mine. And, for 500$ or so used you have a very nice DVD player as well as a nice sounding CD.Raanan 
IC's for Electrocompaniet EMC1
Thank you all for the information and the ideas. I have just received my EMC1 and will try to audition certain of the IC's suggested. My only problem is that I am not sure how to do that... How do you get to try IC's in your system (other than buy... 
Opinions on AudioMeca Keops
Tobias,Thanks for the info. I will try to audition the CD at home and see if it makes a big change relative to the SD9200 (which is quite good, I think).Raanan 
Passive or Active Sub???
John,I appreciate the info and thanks very much for the detailed answer. I think what your suggestion makes sense. While I am not a bass freak I would like to enjoy the deepest bass in HT (or music). Your recommendation also makes sense since the ... 
Passive or Active Sub???
Thank you guys. I have decided to go active. I would love to try the bag-end but it seems that an 18 sub will be just too big for my small room. I am currently thinking about the Velodyne HGS10. Anyone has any experience with this sub?Thanks for t... 
EAD TheaterMaster 8000p vs Integra Research RDC-7
Hi,I dont know if this will be of help but I own the RDC-7 and am very very pleased with it (never listed to the EAD). It seems to me that the Integra has all that you can think of and is also future proof (which was very important to me).The Inte... 
Toshiba SD9200 V Pioneer DV37
Thank you guys for the input (that was what I thoght). A further question though: I am thinking now that since the sony DVP-9000es is only 200$ or so more expenseive (and it is also a SACD player), I should go with it. Have you auditioned this pla... 
Recommended Component Cable
Thank you all for the quick response. Based on the answers and some research I have just purchased the top of the line Canare component cable (2M) for 58$ on eBay. Based on what I've heard I am pretty sure these will be at least equal, if not bett... 
New version of JM Lab Electra?
DT,The speakers are about 2 feet from the back wall but due to room limitation one of them is no more than 20cm of the side wall. My listening position if about 3 M from the speakers.Raanan 
New version of JM Lab Electra?
Hi,It works great for me and my room is about your size. The only thing it that they sound better if you place them at least 2' from the wall. I am using the 905 as surrounds and extremely happy with the 920.1. You'll save a lot of money compared ... 
New version of JM Lab Electra?
Hi,I must say that I have not heard the new 936 or 946. But, I own the 920.1 and can tell you that this is just an amazing speaker and in terms of getting the most sound for your money it is just the best that I know of. Since the model have been ...
