BMG Music Club - new twist
Marakanetz. While it is true BMG has its non BMG label club CDs made for the club in most cases, the rest is probably an urban legend/rumor. BMG is more than a club. It is one of the largest recording distributors in the world. It has over 200 rec... 
Biwire speaker cable advice, please

Subwoofer Connection
REL, enough said. 
Help with an Amp in the 1500 ballpark used
I have a BC22 in one system. Nice amp. The BC22 is closer to the Bryton 3BST in power.

BMG Music Club - new twist

XRCD vs. SACD anyone?
I think Pacific Microsonics (HDCD) was purchased by Bill Gates, so it will probably be part of Windows XP (Version 2) for doing your own multimedia on your computer. 
Modwright DVD or NAD T550
I have one of Stan's machines and feel it was worth every penny. His mods are $267 which includes return shipping, so depending on what player, you can keep it under $500 easy. Stan sticks to Pioneer and Onkyo players. 
Best Speaker cables on the cheap?
Sorry I am laughing. Hard to believe your system had $1500 speaker cables connected to $1200 speakers and a budget amp. No wonder it sounded bad. Too bad it is the system that would make the cables sound bad and not vise versa. (You really didn't ... 
Cheap upgrade path?
A third path is to pick up a used Link or Link II and send to to Stan Warren or Dan Wright for modification. 
Two systems? Why?
I have 3 at home, plus one at work. Main audio; HT; and a small combination Audio/2 channel HT in the home office (bedroom). HT is for the family; Main Audio system for me; and the den/home office system for when working, when the HT is in use, or... 
Best home theater receiver for 500
The Outlaw is a really nice product. If you want something more mainstream, the Onkyo products are well made. 
Best Speaker cables on the cheap?
For the IXOS 5003 at www.AC4L.com which is also www.accessories4less.com; they will terminate the IXOS 6003 for no additional charge over the charge of the terminations. I think bananas are $9.99 for 4 (2 pair) which is one cable; and spades are $...
