| 1000 budget for speakers and integrated - HELP The Complete is one of the champs in this area, but it blows a big hole in your $1K budget. It will probably cost you $650 used. You should then consider the Creek 4330, which will be around $400 used. Also see what is available from Musical Fidel... | |

| Have you ever changed non-detachable poewer cord? I had an IEC install on a preamp, so I can use any cord. | |
| VansEvers Clean Line I use a Reference 85, a Super Companion, a Digital Jr. and a few 202 and 211 power cords. All work great. | |
| Ditch the internal xover and use the sub.... I guess I have always run a 5 channel system, not 5.1 channel. I never liked how the sub integrated with the movie soundtrack, and came to the conclusion after trial and error, that it was not the sub (REL Q100E). Adjusting room accoustics was not... | |
| Any Chinese audiophiles? Do you have a link? | |
| Why are AM/FM Tuners So Expensive? The person responsible for that tuner website is Eric Fader. His email address may be on that site, if you have questions on a tuner not listed. He also has other resources like Don Scott. |
