recommended speakers for SET amp?
You might look into the Von Schweikert DB100 specifically designed for set amp.Very very efficient. Go to www.vonschweikert.com 
Gershmann/VonSchweikert/Silverline
I think in the price range you are talking about,the VSA VR 5s are about the best available.I use them for my rears since the arrival of my VR7s.Superb build quality,and customer support is the best.The new line of VSA speakers is definitely a"mus... 
Comments on Lexicon Processors
With the new Lex about to be released I would wait and get really good deals on the MC1 as they will be flooding in to dealers toward trade in toward the MC12 and you will get a much better price.As for 10db differenece in S/N it certainly is audi... 
Correction to Bryston SP-1 auction above
On auctions you can only add not edit unlike the classifieds where you can do both. 
EAD Theater Master Sig. or Casablanca II
Also the Casbalanca II is loaded with bugs.If you go to the AVS forum you will see a # of people with prolems.If 2 channel is important, I also would go with the EAD. 
Krell KSA150 or Aragon8008BB
I totaly dissagree.The Aragon is by far fuller and has a much smoother high end.As for build,they are both equal.I have owned plenty of Krell,and now own Palladiums and have never looked back.Both companies have execllent customer support.And if y... 
Sony ES777 SACD vs EMC-1
If you read in Audio Asylum it is generally regarded that 777es is a top notch transport.Once modified by the likes of Richard Kern and others there is pretty much nothing out there that is "better".I would have to agree . 
aragon 8008bb vs. bryston 4bst
The Aragon is pretty hard to beat.You also get 26 watts of class A power. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
No question about it.The Von Schweikert VR7s,Best I have heard price no object. 
Best DVD Player for around US 2,000
Though both pieces are first rate,the 9200 has a slighty sharper picture with a better black level.One is DVDA capable,the 9000 is SACD ready.This should play into considering both pieces.Another option is to buy an EAD Theatervision used.It has t... 
Hot Setup? Pre/Pro for HT and 2ch
A much overlooked pre/pro is the Aragon Soundstage.Not only is an execellent processor,but it is the Aurum preamp(top of the line preamp from Aragon) so 2 channel is among the best of any of the listed pre/pros.The Lexicon is worthless in 2 channe... 
Upgrade advise: ATI, Bryston, Aragon,
Personally,I woud consider the Aragon or Bryston.Both are top notch,and a step above the ATIs,certainly in build quality. 
bryston vs acurus
On the other hand you might want to consider the Aragon line and you will find them to be much more in line with Brystons. 
aragon 8008bb vs bryston 4bst
My vote goes to the Aragon,plus you get 25 watts of class A power. 
Opinions of MIT MH 750 speaker cable
I would take the MIT 750 Shotguns over the Analysis plus in a heartbeat.I think Analysis plus is probably one of the most overated cables out there.
