Center Channel with Revel M22s
Is there any reason you dodn't want a C32? That is the matched center for the M22 or F32. I am using the C32 with my F32/M22 setup and it voice matches perfectly.

Rega RP10 tt and RB2000 tonearm - coming in 2014

Best movie to see what your HT AUDIO will do.
In addition to U571, which as indicated would be my go to, especially if I was a "subwoofer salesman", but I would also add "Cowboys and Aliens" to the above suggestions. 
Directv to ARC DAC?
Recently when DirecTV added Pandora I tried an Arcam irDAC to see if I could improve on the sound. I didn't notice any real discernible improvements nor differences that warranted the purchase. Both my dealer and I agreed that the quality level of... 
Did you get your new Music Direct catalogue yet?
They do very nice catalog indeed. Got mine Wednesday and have been spending much time "dreaming" of what I should buy. It is just so much nicer than staring at a monitor. I would love to visit their store someday. 
Cd Recorder Operation
I have a Pioneer Elite and a Denon Dual Tray that I have used many times to make compilation discs. On both you have the option to select "track" or "entire disc". So you slect the track and hit play or record depending on your recorder, being a s... 
What brand is most recognized by non-audiophiles?
