Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Since I had to return a gift to RS today, I picked up a pair of these speakers. I'll give you an update when I get a chance to play with them a bit.TIC 
Linn Classik All-in-one box solutions
Steuspeed,I have another rather unorthodox suggestion. If you desire good sound, but don't want to spend much money, try to find a Sharp SD-EX111. This is trickle down technology from the original $15,000 Sharp Digital Integrated Amp that graced t... 
Rat Shck Presidian 40-5053. Next Sonic Impact?
Petey,Over the years I've seen you post many, many times about different speakers you've bought. If someone asked "what Audio Forum Member has owned the most speakers", you would be the first one to come to mind!So, considering the vast number of ... 
Any info on Design Acoustics?
I remember Design Acoustics from "back in the day" and I remember them as being a good quality mass market speaker. If I recall correctly, I think they were a very good value speaker. Not the best, but sounded good for the price.Enjoy,TIC 
What A/V receiver to buy?
Luvshack,You mentioned that you already have the Sunfire 5-channel amp. Do you really want an HT receiver (pre-amp/processor, plus 5-7 channels of amplification) or do you want an HT pre-amp/processor and plan to use the Sunfire for amplification?...

Linn Classik All-in-one box solutions
A really great sounding 2 box solution is the Quad 99 CDP (CD player with analog variable volume control and extra digital inputs for DVD, cable, etc)and a Quad 99 or Quad 909 amp. Check out the professional reviews. Absolute Sound and others have... 
Great music but poor recording recommendations.
U2's "All That You Can't Leave Behind". Really excellent rock music, but a recording that will peel paint! I listened to it in my car today on a factory system and it was still WAY too hot (treble) for my taste. It is nearly unlistenable on my hom... 
Which Patricia Barber album floats yer boat?
I've only heard maybe 3-4 Patricia Barber albums, so I'm no expert. However, I do have an opinion!I do not care for any of the studio albums I've heard. I do like the live "Companion" CD quite a bit. Barber does not have a great voice or much voca...

Can a vintage piece over 40 years old be Highend
Humm, Quad ESL57's and 63's can be some of the most pleasing speakers I've ever hear when used within their limitations. I guess that makes them high-end, even by todays standards.Enjoy,TIC 
Weird DVD Player Problem
Do you have a multi-channel HT setup or a 2-channel setup? It sounds like you have the DVD player set up for multi-channel output, but don't have the system (or the setup) to support it.Almost all dialog comes from the center channel in a multi-ch...

Best Concert Film
Humm, I'm surprised that nobody has yet mentioned James Taylor's "Live at the Beacon Theater". It is a very good performance and I love the excellent video transfer and 5.1 channel mix. It really looks and sounds like being there! Most excellent i... 
"Professional" or "Commerical" Display Monitors
Cw,The "commercial" Panasonic Plasmas are hugely popular among the informed videophile community. These Plasmas come in 37", 42" and 50" models with the 37 and 42 also being available as less expensive EDTV models.There are lots of manufactures th...
