Top vintage receivers vs. modern high-end equipment
The Pioneer 1980 or Marantz 2600 are nowhere near the BEST SOUNDING Receivers made by either company. Don’t be a knucklehead and think that the number of Watts = Best Sound/Performance. That’s ridiculous. The 80 Series Pioneers are inferior to the... 
Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900
So your comment below isn't a personal attack?? "like the award collector on facebook here, a definite Luxman fan boy to say the least"Its not only an attack BUT its based on no factual basis. If your going to come at me you can surely expect to g... 
Amps I Like
ARC amps keep evolving as do most brands over time. The new 160M and S models don't sound like the prior 250/150/75 series. So there isn't only 2 flavors to ARC "House Sound" over the past 20 years or whatever time frame anybody cares to reference... 
Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900
Certainly not a fan boy of any brand. Dont even own a Luxman Amp...never have. I do have a Luxman CD Player and a Pre-Amp...both of which are still in the boxes I received them in and have never been used. Since your reading comprehension skills a... 
Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900
Ive been told by a couple of people that have tried both that the Soulution sounds "Sterile" as compared to the Luxman.  Guess you need to hear for yourself. 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
Mr Decibal,WC cant say anything negative about the Merrill's as they sent them to him for an audition free of charge. You have to factor that in. He would be screwed if he said anything bad about them. 
Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer !
WOLF,Steve Guttenberg did a review of them compared to the Forte 3 on his Youtube page (The Audiophiliac) 
Best speakers 5k 10 k
Charney Speakers look like they were made in a High School Wood Shop. Dont care how great they sound cause I would have to cover them with a sheet to avoid embarrassment.  
How many amps do you own?
ARC 160M Mono'sDAG 400 Mono'sPASS XA25Valvet E2 SEFirst Watt Sit-3 Mono'sAudio Note Jinro Integrated Luxman M900 mono's are next on the shopping list 
Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Ive read about people DITCHING their Pulsar's (Upgraded Graphene version) because they now have TOO MUCH bass for smaller rooms. Go figure 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Pretty funny coming from the Master of Negativity!!  Thanks for the laugh 
High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
Curious OP....What is your room size that the SHL5 isn't performing to your satisfaction? Was thinking of buying a pair for my 13x15 room. Your info would be helpful before I take the plunge. 
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
Total BS. I can go to my local Mac Dealer 10 minutes away and get at least 20% off any gear I want. I always got 20% off at OVERTURE in Delaware on all my previous Mac gear (452, C52 etc)...and No sales tax to boot. No other products were purchase... 
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
Its obvious to me that many people here are totally ignorant in the art of wheeling and dealing. I always get 20-30% off everything depending on the brand. I would NEVER buy anything at Zero - 15% off MSRP. Do your homework, get quotes from variou... 
I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player
I'll bet anybody they aren't going to offer 3 new CD/SACD Players at different levels. Some people might wish they had picked up the 05/06 when they are still available and affordable.
