| SONY SCD-1 vs the New Generation of Competition I currently have the sony 9000es player and have listened to the scd-1 and the 777es models.

| How would you rate ??? i have tried the audience, analysis plus, transparent, straightwire, audioquest, and cardas and went with bogdan. You need to try different cables with your equipment instead of relying on other people preferences. | |
| Totem Hawk 86 db sensitivity i would opt for the forests for that size of room. I listened to them at he2003 and they sounded fantastic. in a smaller room, i would go with the hawks. IMO, the totem speakers will need some power to do the speaker justice. I am not talking abou... | |
