Disappearing Speakers Sound Better To You ?
It is a relatively new experience for me.I thought my old speakers gave me some of this, but my present speakers step right out of the way. And, even then, this did not really begin to happen until I moved them to the long wall opposite. It was no... 
Help me find it again
I guess to find it again you would have to look in the right place. Easier said than done. Still, would it be too far off base to say it sounds like you are a person who really loves music? Maybe this is the part of your system that is failing you... 
Where does the designation of "Audiophile" fit...
Okay. I get the sense that my question does attempt to pigeonhole people. It was not intended, or at least I did not mean to set everything in its place. Life is more complicated than this, and I apologize if I offended. For myself, the designatio...

Marco- nice photo it is too. Have you ever modeled shoes?

Marco- Whew! 
Does Your System Sound Like the Real Thing?
Real thing? Yes. My system sounds like crappy midfi. Most of the time I am pretty happy when I hear more of a recording than I had previously heard over years of listening. To me this seems to be some of the value I have gotten from my purchases. ... 
speakers that match well with denon
I have used the Polk Rt55, B&W 602 and Cdm 1nt with a Denon integrated amplifier(pma 2000r). I am not sure how the Cdms would work with a receiver, but these speakers make an excellent match with my Denon. I have had this combo for over a year... 
Maggie's and cats
A lot has to do with how old your cats are & how you discipline them. I have no doubt that you know these cats well, and if some part of you suspects they will use your speakers to sharpen their claws then you can have some confidence in your ... 
My first real hi-end audio system Please advise
spacekadet- It is really none of my business, but if you do not mind I am curious. Why did your Dad decide to upgrade, and then what did he upgrade to? It could not have been an easy decision to arrive at as those equiptments are excellent. I wond... 
Matching an amp to speakers for beginners?
My suggestion to you outside the basics is to consider what characteristics of music you really prize. What is it you are really missing now that has driven you to improve your system? an inventory of sorts of what you want to achieve will assist ... 
How does transport contribute sonically on CDs?
It is a good question. I am suprised you havent gotten more responses as yet. Unfortunately, I havent got the expertise you need. 
Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only
The NHT SB2 is a solid bet at around that budget.Full sounding and not too fussy. I am not sure whether it is 8ohm or 4 ohm, but I believe your NAD amp is very capable with such loads, so you neednt be too concerned. 
need more smoothness
I agree with the poster who suggested that your problem is with your source. The 1nt is very sensitive to partnering components. Any tonal brightness in your system and the 1nts will pass it along to you. As well, the rotel amp is not the last wor... 
Is Sennheiser 600/650 an overkill ?
I would reccommend the 600s to anyone interested in excellent headphones.They have serve me well for several years now. However, in my experience, they are very revealing of source and source material, and therefore not the ideal gear for every fo... 
Emmylou Harris, "Red Dirt Girl"
I tend to like emmylou Harris and the Nash Ramblers at the Ryman best amongst her efforts, tho I admitt it seems difficult to compare when she has done so many different kinds and quality of recordings over the years I think her Ballad Of Sally Ro...
