Best Place To Buy VMPS New or Used?
lucius morris of dynamic sound, in washington, dc, made it worth my while to buy my vmps larger subs from him, several years ago. i'm sure he will do the same when i have the scratch saved up for those rm40's i yust gotta have! :>)http://www.dy...

Buy a hi-end CD player/transport now?
brulee, thanks for the comments re: my analog set-up. dunno if it's as good as ya make it, but i do know that, barring any unforeseen lottery windfall or something, i'm set on the vinyl front! ;~) i'm not much of a tweeker w/it, tho - yust set it ... 
Solid State amp with wide soundstage
tweek,tho i love my ec amps, i'd also consider the pass amps, if the extra scratch inwolved is not a problem. of course, w/a budget of only $1k used, this pretty-much limits ya to the aleph-30, which means ya need more efficient speakers...doug s. 
VMPS RM-40 - Anyone Heard
tweek, i suggest emailing brian cheney directly; he's quite forthright w/his responses. i would suspect that in this case, the added quantity of drivers allows a higher spl w/less distortion - not an issue in small-to-medium rooms, perhaps, but me... 
Movie Software make HT a Waste of Resources?

Totally Confused about home theater

buy upsample processor or new CD player? Or ... ?
a ~$130 art di/o w/~$5 upgraded powersupply will be equal or better than any cd player or dac up to $3k, imo. spend another $100-$200 on it to have it tweeked, & it gets even better...doug s. 
Furman X-312 - a good subwoofer crossover?
dunno about the furman, but the marchand xm-9 w/upgraded op-amps, is at least as good as the bryston, at less than half the price. and, w/24db/octave slopes, & w/its wolume pot at the chosen x-over frequency as well as for low & hi-pass, i...

Turntable suggestions?
jcc613, ya may be right - everyone should check out the linn lp12. but ya don't have to *own* one for yer quest to be complete... ;~)doug *done shopping for turntables* s.

hi steved, i guess that explains the title of yer post: "Audio Artistry Dvoraks"... ;~)doug s. 
Best "Used" Audiophile speakers for 1000-1500
now that ya provided room & equipment info info... ;~) used thiel 3.5's will do it for ya - real imaging & soundstaging, and true low- frequency extension - -2db@20hz. *but*, i'd check out a pair of vmps rm2's or neo 626's brand-new, ist..... 
Solid State amp with wide soundstage
i'm w/tweekerman on the electrocompaniet amps. a pair of excellent aw60ftt's were advertized here on a-gon for $1200 - a steal at the price. no typical solid-state sound here. all the detail, w/no harshness or grain. works great w/tubed preamps, t...
