Center Channel
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... 
Center Channel
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... 
Monitor Audio dealers
"Most of the listed dealers are AV installation shops." Although, I have Monitor Audio speakers, I submit that's why they aren't as respected as some other high-end companies. 
Should high-end shops be "OBLIGATED" to advise about component matching for best sound?
My local dealer refuses to talk about what components work best together. As a matter of fact, when asked directly about the different characteristics of components, he is hesitant to discuss the differences. Consequently I wont purchase from him ... 
Monitor Audio Platnium II
I've owned MA PL500 II's for almost a year. It's the last speaker I will own.  
Help in selecting 1 of 3 amplifiers
I've owned several Peachtree amps and had reliability issues with each of them. In addition, I submit there is some type of abnormality with the mids/highend of the Peachtree amps. My friend went from a Peachtree 220se to a Rogue and he couldn't b... 
Austin Texas area Audio folks?

D'Agostino vs. Ayre
I don’t want to steal this thread, but I have been thinking about D’Agostino, not compared to Ayre, but compared to Jeff Rowland. I currently have the Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amp and Corus preamp. Has anyone compared them to the Momentum integrated am...

Wilson Audio Haters
I submit even when members who previously owned Wilson's post negative comments, current Wilson owners are offended. "Prospective Buyers" should use their "own ears" no matter what speakers their purchasing. It really doesn't make a difference if ... 
Chord Dave or Ayre QX5 Twenty DAC???
My friend had the Chord Dave and Bricasti M1 SE. He said, "it's not even close, the Chord Dave is more musical, better separation, and better mids/highs." All around he feels the Chord Dave is better, but he doesn't like the way it looks. 
Have you ever tried a pair of speakers and said this Is the last thing I will ever need.
Unless I move into a smaller room, I will keep my Monitor Audio PL500 II's. Not perfect, but boy do I enjoy them! 
Raidho speaker owners which amplier have you tried?
Charles,Thanks. I really like to call it like I hear it. 
Raidho speaker owners which amplier have you tried?
charles1dad,I believe it was the Absolare 845 Push-Pull Amplifier with the Absolare preamp.  
Raidho speaker owners which amplier have you tried?
The Raidhos I'm referring to are the C3.1. At moderate levels the Absolare has this incredible ability to sound live...air, space, extension of notes. To my ears, more than anything I've ever heard, the Absolare, if you close your eyes, the Absola...
