Need Help: Integrated 'Tube' Amplifier for Arros
My favorite tube amp with the Arro's is the Jolida 302b. It really makes the Arro's image at their best.But I agree with other posters that you shouldn't necessarily discount solid state amplification. I've heard it said that Sim equipment goes we... 
Please recommend a high-powered SS amp
Way back when I had Proac monitors, too. I think that your speakers are becoming congested at higher volumes, rather than your amp clipping. Monitors speakers in general probably aren't your best choice if the goal is loud music. For that, look in... 
Preamp or A/V receiver???
I agree with the other posters. What we tell you should have no impact on your decision, because you'll have the ultimate test available to you. Just listen to both and keep the one you like best.Michael 
Please recommend a high-powered SS amp
I'm surprised that you find the Plinius to be clipping. It's known to be a very gutsy amp. What Proac speakers are you using with it? Maybe the limitation lies there. If you want very high volumes, perhaps look into different types of speakers (su...

Budget AVR as a preamp
Somec59, the original poster wanted "all the new codecs", which I assume means the high-resolution audio formats available on Blu Ray discs. The Outlaw does not offer these (yet).For the time being, the Onkyo and Yamaha are probably your best bets... 
Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan
Component video connections CAN transmit HD signals; they will easily to 1080i and 720p. I'm not sure if they're do 1080p, but on my Samsung 1080p LCD, I cannot tell the difference between the HDMI and component video inputs. Of course, if you wan... 
Budget AV Receiver with Magnepan
I did some searching online, and found that the Denon AVR-1700 has preouts for the front speakers. You might consider putting your money instead into a budget multichannel amp such as an Adcom, Emotiva, or Outlaw. Then hook up the preouts of your ... 
How Do I Point iTunes to use my backup ext drive?
I haven't tried this, but I would imagine that you could go into the Unix terminal and create a symbolic link ("ln -s ...") from the music library that iTunes is expecting to the external drive.Michael 
Warm Preamp
I agree with CJ and Rogue for tube warmth. I would also recommend Cary and Audio Mirror, both of which produce very seductive, warm tube preamps.Michael 
Fall Flat Panel Lineup
I agree with Dave that it's your source, not so much the television that makes a lot of the difference. If you have a Blu-Ray DVD player or Verizon Fios or another quality source, then you're well on your way to getting excellent picture quality.I... 
looking for an amp for 12 to 15 hundred
You have lots of choices here. Some suggestions of amps that are likely to pair well with the Paradigms include a Classe CA-150, Musical Fidelity A3cr series, and Marsh A400.Michael 
best used cd $500 - $700
The Oppo 983H gives my California Audio Labs Alpha DAC a serious run for its money; it also does DVD's and SACD's and DVD-Audio.I've also been partial to the Music Hall CD-25 as I feel that it's a great bang for the buck.Michael 
best speakers on AGON for about $500
Jdfelice, based on what you've said about the room and listening priorities (imaging and soundstage), I'd say the Magnepan MMG's should be at the top of your list. They're available NEW with 60 day no-fuss return policy for only $50 above your pri... 
best speakers on AGON for about $500
For the price, I like the VS VR-1 mentioned above, except I feel that it's a little thin for jazz and blues.I would consider something like a PSB Image series, any of the NHT offerings in that price range, perhaps a Paradigm Studio 20 or Acoustic ...
