Dynaudio vs. Vienna Acoustics
As a former owner of both the dyn 3.0 and the vienna bethovens I would give the nod to the bethovens buy a wide margin, they are a very sweet and musical speaker with tight base, IMO, dyn audio is way overhyped and overpriced, but I would also off... 
Aragon 8008bb, Krell 250a or Classe 201
having owned the krell and the classe I would lean more to the krell personally, but it depends on what you like, the classe will give a more laid back warm sound, the krell would give you more detail and low end punch, either would be a good choi... 
B K Reference 30 Audio/Video Preamp
The B&K uses the same preamp section on the 30 as their 307 receiver, so if it sounds no better then a receiver that is why, in that price range I would consider a classe ssp 30, the sunfire theater grande 2, personally I would go with the sun... 
Best used 5 channels amp. for both music and movies
the ead powermaster 2000 amp is easily the best there is, with its powersteering design, you get 400x5 in 5 channel and as much as 1000x2 when using 2 channel, I have had the krell 500, the classe cav , and the powermaster is much better, I am run... 
Integra Research RDC-7 any opinions???
I recently purchased a rdc7, I had a krell hts and was going to upgrade to the hts2, on a whim I audioned the integra, I bought it and saved 2500 from the krell. sonicly it is a steal at 4000, it has prologic 2 and dts ex also, analog bypass ,and ... 
EAD Theatermaster Encore Opinions
it is a very good prepro built by a copmpany on shaky ground finacially and lousy customer service, I was going to buy a new 1, but there are constant delays and broken promises, its hard to put money in a product from a company that may not be ar... 
Classe SSP-30 vs. used Lex MC-1
I have owned the ssp 25 and the lex mc1, if you like music, classe is definitly the way to go, but there are quality issues with the classe, they may have worked the bugs out by now, but if you have a problem you have a long wait for waranty work,... 
EAD Powermaster-2000 or Powermaster-1000
I have owned both the 1000 and the 2000, both have similar sound, I have owned krell, classe, and others and imo the ead is much smoother, if you are using 8 ohms speakers the 1000 is fine, I am using aerial 8bs which are power hungry and 4 ohms s... 
Please help with Levinson 380S Proceed
check to see if you amp and preamp is plugged into the same outlet, this can cause a ground loop hum or buzz, try connecting in seperate outlets and see if the buzz goes away, this is a simple solution to a common problem, 
"Krell" is a buzzword
I think envy, same type of people like to knock corvetts, bosses, and people who excelled at what they do. I am 53 and have used krell for awhile now and find their products and service first class, some people may like other products more, there ... 
Aerial sw12
I did own a aerial sw12, although it was very good musicly, It would constantly bottom out on ht, expecially dts dvd's, it has a severe popping problem when it bottoms out, I sold it because of that problem, I think you will be hearing more and mo...

Classe or Krell
I have owned both classe and krell, classe tech support is terrible and I think their quality has been slipping for quit awhile, krell quality and tech support are the far above that of classe, the new classe ssp 75 was virtually a clone of a para...
