The day the music died.
What Audiofeil said. 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
OK, maybe I engaged in a little hyperbole, and, yes, Bruce has carved his own route. But I think there's a lot of truth in what I said.Nobody is Dylan, and I can't think of somebody better to aspire to be. Bruce didn't invent it, but, yes, has ref...

The day the music died.
Buddy's two biggest quantifiable achievements:1 - Being the first pop/rock star to write his own material2 - popularizing the standard 4-piece rock band setup.Favorite song: EverydayNo Buddy = nothing would be as it isI'm sure you all know that th... 
RIP: three Jazz Sax players
I live in NYC and saw Fathead a few times about 15 years ago. He had that "something". RIP 
Bruce at The Super Bowl....
My issue is that I think that Springsteen wants to be Dylan, and always has. He's not. I've seen Bruce live a number of times, and once I get past the hype and ego and the "Jersey", I think he's great live. But I've also seen Dylan - Bob Dylan san... 
The Most Beautiful Song of The RnR era?
If it's Buddy, then it's "Everyday" 
What should be under my speakers?
I use Outriggers and find them to be excellent. They are also a lot less expensive than most solutions. I can't see any advantage that Sistrum would have.http://www.soundocity.com/http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/frr.pl?rspkr&1212931697&r... 
Best Standard Def DVD Player under $8,000 used?

What amp to get.
I think you're fine with the amps. What about upgrading other parts of your system? 
Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig
Yes, I do prefer Parasound to Adcom. I'd stay with what you have for the mains and surrounds. I also would not rush into a sub until you're sure what you want. A homebuilt is a great idea if you're hand - there are plenty of designs out there. Ano... 
Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig
Well, it really depends on what subs you're getting. You could consider powered subs, which would be better than subs and the Adcom.There was a posting here a while back by a woman who bought B&W 801s and was disappointed with the bass. She wa...

Loving Cup - Rolling Stones, Exile on Main Street 
Adcom GFA5500 2ohm stable? & house wirinig
I've never been a Carver/Sunfire fan at all, but that's just my opinion. Please give us room size and all associated equipment and speakers, and then you'll get recommendations. Generally speaking, I would not recommend Adcoms for a sub. You can d...
