Best sub4k amplification and processing?
Yes, I agree with you in the ultimate sense, I will just have to see how the budget works out...Thanks for all of your input. One other thing has come up that has caught my attention, as a sound quality /price ratio thing but absolutley no frills ... 
CDP at $1200- 2000 for this system
Consonance cd2.2 needs to be added to list. I have one for sale as I am going to move to multichannel and will get a 2900 that is heavily modified as that is the only way it will be competive. I have owned many esoteric cdp's- All very good includ... 
Best sub4k amplification and processing?
No-just making sure that it did have a 5.1 input. What I was thinking of doing for a little less money was using a reviever to drive the center and rear speakers and to do the processing and using its main outs to drive a tube/higher quality ss am...

Thanks for your repsonces, and please dont take the madrigal thing too heavily, as I LIKED the proceed cdp, and ,my father used to own the ML drive/dac/#390 pre and #360 amp-at least i think these are the correct #'s...anyway, great gear and great...

Rsbeck: Does the Anthem pre pro have tubes in it? I have tubes everywhere and personally, dont know if I could live without them somewhere...AND I have owned a Proceed CDP a few years ago, and while it was good, I'm not for some unkown reason a bi...

Does the avp2 do dolby digital and dts? I am currenty using an Aronov tube integrated which is fabulous and I really dont want to give up my hi fi, but video is far outweighing audio in use in my system right now. Plus, I cant stand to see my $600...

Cable TV receiver induced hum into system
All Reponses here are just band aids...Your cable is not grounded to code-have them fix it. If it is not grounded with a ground block to the same ground that you ac breaker box is grounded to them you have a ground potential-basically a giant 9 vo... 
DLP rear projector recommendation please
The newest LG 52" has a "air" berring for the color wheel which supposedly has no friction. Also given there latest price move to 3k, $500 less that the 50" Sam and it has better color-especially in the flesh tones-and 2" bigger with the same 7 se...

Product comparison
Though not the new versions, I sold my EMC1mk2 and replaced it with the Mephito2 cd. The EMC1 had better bass at first but that was all that was better. The mephisto is much smoother with better PRAT and soudstaging. You can listen to it louder fo... 
Talon Hawks
The Talon's with warmish sounding equiptment are unbeatable. They are somewhat picky about matching the right stuff in front of them including cableing and power cords but when you get it right, you will fall in love with them. This is true of the... 
Review: Gamut D200 Amplifier
Have you checked out the new Aloia 15.01 amp? I am using it on my Khorus's and it controls the woofs like no other amp I have heard. I am a bass junkie to boot. And all of the other niceties of the smaller brother... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Heard all speakers here accept the Piega's and the Wisdom's. I would not trade my Talon Khorus's for any of them that I have heard. Period. I have some frieds and collegues that have the Piegas and say the same thing with very similar equitment th...
