| Should i upgrade my Meridian 508.20 to 508.24? I own the 508.24 and had it into a Audio Research LS16 preamp into a Plinius SA100 MKIII running Dynaudio Contour 3.3 speakers. It sounded great. I chose the 508.24 over the Audio Research CD-2 and the Mark Levinson 39. The 508.24 is very detailed... | |

| Dynaudio vs. Vienna Acoustics Dynaudio Contours 3.3 or Confidence 5. The 3.3's are an amazing full range speaker (no sub needed with these). The 5's produce the best vocals of any speaker I've heard. | |
| Best Patricia Barber's CD? Hard question. Cafe Blue or Campanion are both exceptional. I really like the song "What A Shame" on Cafe Blue. "Companion" XRCD2 on FIM puts her and the band right in my livingroom. Buy both!!! | |
