High Fidelity Sex Objects
i've never thought of my stereo rig as sexy, but if yure getting at what i *think* yure getting at, i openly admit that i bought my oracle turntable cuz it looks cool. the fact that it also happens to be an amazing-sounding piece at a bargain-pric... 
Home Cinema Poisoning my System?
re: center-channel - newform research sez their speakers eliminate the need for a center-channel speaker in h-t. anyone try 'em in this configuration? if it's true, then they should be decent for 2-channel stereo... ;~) 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
jim, w/eclectic musical tastes, ya need one-size-fits-all speakers! :>) i've heard the cls' and absolutely love what they do well, but, as ya say, some of the stuff yust ain't there, on some music. i thought that subs wood be the cure, but acco... 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
jim, the kinergetics subs - sw8000's i tink were the name of their top-model, would be excellent, but even if ya find a pair used, they're still expensive. as i recall, they had five 10" drivers per side. melos recommended them to me as a good mat... 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
hi jim,last nite, i listened (again!) to nusrat fateh ali khan & michael brook - "night song" this cd has *amazing* low-frequency info, & believe me, bass frequencies *can* be directional! :>) if ya have the room, definitely try to go f...

buy a preamp that has a processor loop - plug yer processor into it & when ya swithch the preamp to this input, it defaults all the preamps' controls to that of the processor, so yer processor can run yer main speakers, as well as the surround... 
Martin Logan Aerius with subwoofer ?????
hi jim,vmps are rarely found on the used market, but they're really inexpensive used - partly, in the case of the larger sub, that at 140lbs & >8cu/ft, it's expensive to ship, i'm sure. there was one on ebay recently that got no bids at a s... 
THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS
can the speakers be out in the room or must they be against a wall? all the speakers above will not do well against the wall - it's not so much size, as placement - proper stand-mounted small speakers take up the same room as many floorstanders. i...

Dynavector Tonearm
go here for dynavector info: http://www.dynavector.co.jp/english/index.html i've heard good things about these tonearms, but they're *very* expensive, even used. i'd suggest an origin-live modified rega rb250. they also do mods for the rb-300/600/... 
Meadowlark Kestral Owners! - Amp Help.
i think the kestral hot-rods are wery nice, but not the most detailed speakers in the world - prolly why yure getting better luck w/the rotel over the c-j amp: decent detailed solid-state vs tubed euphony, not the lack of power. subjectively, the ...
