| which speaker recomendations for this system... Your system is pretty balanced. Have you thought about upgrading the electronics instead? What is your budget? Is music important to you? The Yamaha CD player could go and replace it with a DAC running off the DVD player for music. | |
| CJ - MF2500 & SA400 Comparison I would agree with getting the MF amp. It based on I once had the SA250 and later got the MF2250 which was noticeably better. The SA amps are great at their price point, but the MF are worth the extra $$ if you can afford it. FYI, I now have the B... | |

| B&W Nautilus 803's versus 804's and 802's For the N805 you will also have to get a really good pair of stands to really get the really good bottom end. | |
