Did you like the EPOS sound? I never cared much for the ELS3 (sounded boxy to me), but the EPOS M12i for $720 (HCM Audio) and EPOS' EPIC series are worth checking out.The PSB will sound different than the EPOS, not better or worse, but different. ... 
Name your 5 favorite Led Zeppelin tracks.
I am not sure if I would agree that Led Zep's 8 consecutive studio recordings are unsurpassed by any band in rock history (the Beatles and Stones come to mind), but the first 4 are pretty fabulous. With that said and in no particular order:Since I... 
older dedicated midfi cd player....2nd system
I have a SONY CDP 8AES that I picked up here for $65. I keep it on a night table and use it for headphone listening and it works well for these purposes. The unit is 20 years old, so when it dies out it is not like I have a lot invested in it. The...

New here ...need some opinions

Help Recommend a Good System for $2000.
I prefer to buy new, as opposed to used. The speakers are the star here. Spend 40% speakers, 40% amp & dedicated cd player, 20% for a blu ray player and cables. When your buddy can free up another $150, he can purchase a standalone Logica inte...
