Classe SSP 300 vs Parasound C1 ?
I just sold a classe ssp 600 and bought a parasound c2, sonicly I hear no difference, both sound great compared to the japanese prepro's, I would recommend the c2 over the c1 as I found the touch screen on the ssp 600 useless from across the room,...

Any thoughts on the new Marantz HT separates?
I was using a pioneer elite 94 receiver as a prepro, I sold it and went with the marantz 8003, it was a signifigent improvement on sound quality, I used to think that using a receiver as a prepro was as good as a seperate prepro, but the marantz p... 
I saw Pearl Jam last night...
pearl jam is a great band, but bands and performers who shove their politics down the audiences throat are a big turn off for me, just because someone can play a guitar or carry a tune does not influence me to agree with their political views. 
Aerial or Dalis?
I auditioned the dali ms4's, although they are a excellent speaker, they loose a lot when sitting off axis, so imo, they were not really suited for ht, I own the aerial 7b, c5 and sr3's, they give me all that i want in ht and 2 channel, a good amp... 
Anyone listened to Aerial 9's?

Center channel speaker which excels at dialogue
most center speakers are just main speakers turned on its side, the aerial cc3 center was 1 of the very few that was actually designed to be a center, I owned 1, after selling it, I went through several centers, aerial cc3b, aerial cc5, definitve,...
