Describe the "new HiFi sound"?
Someone using Elton John as an example of a pianist is what's wrong with civilians talking about music.  
un-becoming an audiophile

Selling on Audiogon

How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system?

Fee for home audition
Find a new dealer.  
Classé CP-45 remote
A long shot perhaps, but I couldn't find the model remote that my AVR uses, but a place called Dan's Electronics had a superceding model. Works perfectly and was reasonable. Found him on the Bay.

World's longest CJ.  
Some famous reviewers have atrocious listening rooms!

Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's

Integrated amp recommendation for Maggie .7's
I love the STR. I've used it with Maggies. I also have the older Anthem 225i that worked beautifully as well.  
Is Imaging Worth Chasing?

Looking for cartridge recommendations
Does your receiver handle MC? I would doubt it.

Do you like they way your system sounds? Then good enough. Enjoy it. And, most importantly, ignore the clownish "your speakers aren't very good",
