The Wharfdale's are listed as 100watt max power handling, so I think a 100 watt/channel amp would be plenty.Also, try to hear the Wharfdales locally, if possible, but you could also just order them from AudioAdvisor. But don't wait too long. These...

Reanalyst,About monitors vs. Full range:Generally speaking, monitors are "bookshelf" sized speakers. Many people refrain from calling them bookself speakers because they tend to sound bad if actually placed on a bookself. If you want good sound an...

Here's a possibility for you. AudioAdvisor has a pair of Wharfdale Diamond 8.3s in the Maple finish for $199! That is a screaming good deal. Also, AA has an excellent return policy, so buy them, try them, then send them back if they don't float yo... 
Super Amp?
I have heard several systems using the Decware Zen Select amp and they can sound very good. However, the Zen prefers a 2 ohm load and may not be at its best with your speakers.The Decware Amp is very inexpensive relative to your speakers. It may b... 
Onkyo DV-SP1000 or Pioneer DV-59AVi?
AG,I would check with the folks at Oade Brothers. They had the best price I've ever seen on the Sony DVP-NS999ES and they are an Authorized dealer. Heck, they were even cheaper than e-Bay or the non-authorized "boiler room" dealers found via the v... 
Onkyo DV-SP1000 or Pioneer DV-59AVi?
AG,I've seen great "blowout" prices on the Pioneer here on A-goN. Have you found any great prices on the Onkyo? Just curious to see if it is priced in the realm of possibility for me. Enjoy,TIC

What's Best Care for Piano Black Finish Speakers?
I do exactly as discribed in Rushton's Yamaha post. I use a clean cloth dampened with water. I go in straight lines across the surface and I follow with a clean, soft dry towel. If needed, I use a cloth dampened with a slightly soapy solution, the... 
Need quality flexible power cord for CD player....
Ezside,Was that the $40 Soundstring low power cable? If so, it is the same one that I bought. I'm very impressed with the sound. I can't believe how unimpressive looking it is, but the sound does not match the look.Enjoy,TIC

Anyone know of a speaker mod or upgrade service?
Try contacting Ed Frias at EFE Speakers. Ed is a great guy and has done wonders with upgrading crossovers of some moderately price consumer level of speakers. You can contact Ed at efespeakers@commspeed.net .Enjoy,TIC 
Onkyo DV-SP1000 or Pioneer DV-59AVi?
AG,I'm sure those are both good players and I have a friend that owns and loves the Pioneer. However, I'm looking for a player now too and I'm leaning toward the Sony DVP-NS999ES. Of course, it is not truely universal as it does not play DVD-A, bu... 
Lucinda Williams Fans?
Ehart,I agree. She rocks hard. I saw the "World Without Tears" tour and I was absolutely stunned at the quality (and quantity) of the guitar player on that stage. Amazing! Also, once that idiot photographer "broke the ice", Lucinda really opened u... 
Need quality flexible power cord for CD player....
Hello All,Just a follow-up. I did get the entry level Soundstrings Digital PC. It was $40. I was hugely disappointed when I pulled it from the box. It looks very much like a stock power cord but is white plastic instead of the usual black and it i... 
Lucinda Williams Fans?
I've been a big fan for more than 10 years. Lucinda is a truely unique talent and a bit of an acquired taste.I saw her in the fall of 2003 and I was against the front barrier about 20 ft directly in front of her. The show started out very slow and...
