How to get multichannel sound from a CD?
Check e-bay for one of these old units...I see them around every so often.http://kantack.com/surround/surround4.htmlDave 
For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration
Yep, just goes to show ya...you don't have to own a box to think outside of one.Dave 
Does anyone out there have a liquid system
More lush than liquid...would not be to hard to push it's sound towards liquid though.The tubes I'm using in my Audioprism Mantissa (NOS Amperex 7308's) give only a nice rounding to the mid-range...My Krell Ksa-250 is on the warmer side of neutral... 
speaker that project mids farther out into room
Agree with Newbee...I would switch my amps to tubes though unless you already have them. Those new mid-range notes mite reach out and BITE!Dave 
Radio Shack SPL Meter mods corrections
Thanks Sean, I guess that would explain why my subs measure down 10db or more at the extream low freq's yet still shake the room.I did raise their output level at one time to bring it into line with the higher bass freq's and found this to excessi... 
amp/Speaker bass output
Were the room treatments installed when you had the old components?Dave 
Upgrade in five channel amplifier
My opinion would be that the amp is not the problem, I would place the blame at the pre-amp. Pick up a very good dedicated two channel pre-amp with hometheater pass-through and use it when you listen to two-channel music.The high-end pre-pro's are... 
Maggie 3.6 owners -- please help
If you would like a larger soundstage and sweet-spot than the Maggies provide...Apogee Duetta Signatures may be of interest to you also.Power requirements are along the lines of the Maggies...no toe-in is needed but should be at least 3ft. out fro... 
Passive/Active preamps: pros and cons....
Agree with Ozzy, passive in a system that takes advantage of it's (passive) advantages is very hard to beat.I had a passive (using S&B trannies) also and the sound quality was steller in every area.A system/room change led to much less than id... 
Favorite Lesser Known Sax Players
May be not JAZZY enough for most...but I like Houston Person.Dave 
Tips for gradual upgrade
Great advice above. One thing you can do on the cheap is pickup a SPL meter and a test cd.I like this test cd a lot...it's free download that you can burn to cd.The great thing about this cd is that it's freq's are in 1hz...10 sec. intervals. Each... 
Problem with American Beauty DVD-A
I have that disc, I had problems getting mine to play mulitichannel although it played stereo fine.Many players have problems with that disc...not all. When I got it I did a search at AA forum and found other posts regarding problems others were h... 
ebay vs audiogon
I have done both with no real problems, still...buyer beware IMO.I only use buy it now on e-bay and don't do the auctions here either. I did hold one auction here at Audiogon...poor idea though as the winner took a hike.He had poor feedback and sh... 
What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.
Wow PlinkoWarning noted and thanks!, Thats an awful story.Dave 
What are the loopholes of sending COD to nonmemb.
I won't buy from someone with 0 feed back unless I can pick-up at his place or he will bring to me.I would never do COD for anyone with no feedback.I will not buy from anyone with bad feedback...to risky for my pocket book.Of course the exception ...
