auxinput,Thanks for the suggestion. IJust purchased a ATI 1803 and I’m looking for a used or demo discontinued Marantz AV preamp. 
Center Channel
I use a Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp and the HT bypass on my Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. Any suggestions on a AVR or AV separates below 5K?

I understand  now why so many suggested I should get the PLC350. I don't want to play the better game, but although it's the series 1, I now know what seamless means between the fronts and center. The Gold C350 brought attention to itself. The onl...

Already wondering if there is a "significant" difference between series I and II. The good news I can upgrade the series I to the II's. 
Center Channel
I almost purchased the series II but I couldn't get over paying 5K for the center channel.

auxinput,after talking to Monitor Audio and considering the price difference between the series 1 and 2, I purchased the PLC350 from TMR Audio and should have it on Monday. I already have the Gold series one and everyone that I talked said, the PL... 
Paradigm Speakers
I haven’t purchased anything from audiotroy, but I have talked to him. He’s knowledgeable and comes across as being very nice on the phone. I don’t have a problem with him; because he doesn’t hide that he’s a dealer. There are a couple of people t... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
Indranilsen,Aerial 7Ts, great speakers, but my room is 20' x 26' and I sold them. I did have the opportunity to hear them with my current components: Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp and Jeff Rowland Corus preamp. Significantly more musical than Parasound ... 
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
I should add, I had Aerial 7T's when I had the A21 and JC-2.  
Amplifier Upgrade Decision
I had the A21 and JC2. To "my ears and in my system " I submit they are both just average, with the A21 being the better of the two(I know the A21 is an amp and JC2 a preamp), but I'm saying the better value. I haven't heard the Pass, so the best ... 
Any comments on DAC going direct to power amplifier or to pre-ampliifer?
4425,I have the Jeff Rowland 625 S2, Aeris DAC, and Corus. I prefer the sound with the Corus over the Aeris direct. It just depends on the listener...no absolutes, only preferences. 
What speaker cable made a major difference in the sound quality of your speakers??
The cable that made a major difference was Shunyata Cobra, but I didn't keep it. Inserting them was one of the biggest differences that I've ever heard, but differences doesn't always equate to better. The bass was the best I've ever heard, but th...

auxinput,I've looked at the PLC350 that TMRAUDIO has listed. I will contact Monitor Audio and ask if the old PLC350 is a better match/significant step up from the Gold C350. As a matter of fact I've reached out to TMRAUDIO to possibly trade my Dyn...

tls49, Thanks. I read both articles including the last line, "With movies being recorded and mixed in the studio with 5 (6 or 7) identical speakers, shouldn't we be listening to our movies at home with 5 (6 or 7) identical speakers?"In my situatio...

Audiobunker,Very interesting comments. Everyone says "the center should match the fronts." I have PL500s and have been thinking about the PLC350, but I'm honestly trying to stop changing equipment when I don't "hear" a reason to. Since I don't hav...
