Best BluRay Concerts
This from the guy that doesn't Like Peter Gabriel, Pink Floyd, Bruce Cockburn, etc. Gee two posts from you on this.I thought for sure you'd be camped out in front of your speakers listening to the 1910 Fruitgum Co.'s greatest HIT, double LP set! O...

Clint Eastwood's HiFi
They look like they ahve a port on the bottom and a horn in the upper RH corner. Klipsh?? That photo looks like he was between rawhide and the Movies career so I would say mid 60's. 
How do you like your store demo?
I personally like the dealer to set up the room and let me listen with out him in the room. I want to hear the equipment not a sales pitch. Then once I have listened have him sit down and discuss the pros and cons. What I find in most dealers is t...

McIntosh 402/B&W 803D Question
The 402 is a workhorse of an amp. It is very well designed and with the autoformer output stage, I can't imagine many speakers it wouldn't drive efficiently. I also think your 5.5 will mate well. 
Could I bi-wire MC 402 to a set of speakers?
I would use the bi-wire as you have it set up. Run one set to the bass and the other set to the high or mid and use jumpers between the two.

Cable Elevators - What do you use?
CableClamps available at most hardware stores, home depot has some as well. They cost about a dollar each, they are adjustable clamp to the cable and lift it far enough to eliminate any static influence. If you have not seen them they open similar... 
Denon 5910ci VS McIntosh MVP871
I understand the price points on these as they are both discontinued. But just wondering if the Mcintosh would produce better sound and if so then justification of the extra money would be easy.
