Best sounding SACD's to show-off system
Pink Floyd Dark side is my reference choice. Blows the mind of non informed listeners. Great multi-channel SACD. Also, Nora Jones is good, as this girl can sing. 
I auditioned SACD today
Wow, I think SACD blows LP's away and for sure CD's. I go back to Mono tube FM systems. I currently have a turntable I listen to once in a while, but good SACD multi channel is better sounding in so many ways. The new Sony Reference SACD player ha... 
Energy veritas or M&K 750 ,Which is better help
Mluthier, I currently have the ac300 center which is supposed to match the veritas line ok; however, there is tonal mismatch and I have been bidding on a 2.0 center a couple times (I'll have one soon). I am running dual Energy S10.2's; but, the 1.... 
How many audiophiles bi wire their speakers????
Yes, I bi-wire and am going to tri-wire as soon as I can find another set of cables (Veritas 1.8's are set up from factory for tri-wire). I think it does help sound quality. I currently have the Highs and Mids jumpered together and the Lows on the... 
Energy veritas or M&K 750 ,Which is better help
Go wit the Veritas'. You state that they would be harder to place, I don't think so. The Veritas surrounds are switchable between monopole, bipole, dipole and corner. And also you can blend the amount of bipole-dipole (two 3-inchers, one each side... 
2nd opinion on Energy Audissey 2+2
I agree with mcspike, my 3+2's didn't wake up untill I ran them with a Parasound HCA-1000 amp. I have heard many times that the Energy speakers work very well powered by Parasound amps, I have to agree. They did sound muddied, to put it lightly, w... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Corvette, '97 C5, one helluva bad azz car. Running well over 500HP with Nitrous. It's also one of my hobbys. Oh, yea it's blk on blk, very nice looking, imo. 
Monster Cable does Power Amps,,,,,,,,,UH OH
I was told by salesman at Goodguys that the monster amps are built by and/or designed by Parasound. That explains why they sound so good, if it is fact. The lower monster products are not much better than what comes in box with some gear; however,... 
2nd opinion on Energy Audissey 2+2
I currently have the A3+2-1's which is the bigger brother of the 2+2's. They are a fine sounding speaker if you take the time to set them up correctly. They have been the hardest speaker to set-up that I have owned. They seem to work best in my ro...
