Anyone under 30?
You guys are OLD!! I am only 20, I think that is why some folks don't agree/like my ideas/opinions, I have been into to audio since I was 17 and have a fairly serious system already(retail value in the mid to high 30's). I am now upgrading things ... 
Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD
I just got back to this thread, you guys are killing me!!! What do you clasify smooth jazz as if it is not jazz? Pop? Lighten up not all of us are 60 years old, I just can't get into most of the really old stuff that most of you guys refer to as "... 
What amplification do you suggest for Magnepan MG20.1?
If money is not an issue try cello, Rowland or the ultimate set up of 4-BAT VK-150se tube amps bi-amp the drivers if possible. I would not think of using anything 'cheap' on speakers like that, Keith gave you lots of good suggestions so take your ... 
Help with Avalon Opuses
Sounds like an awesome setup, I would look into gettting the best Jeff Rowland you can afford or add a little bit and try tubes like BAT VK-120 mono's. I tried to get a rowland model 5 but ran into a lot of problems, and ended up getting a BAT VK-... 
Bryston 4B-ST vrs Adcom 565 monos
Get the 565's and send them out to be modified, they will smoke just about any amp near there price. I find it hard to believe the 4bst is as powerful as the 565 'welder' despite what it says on paper compare the insides of the two, the 565 is so ... 
Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD
Maybe smooth jazz is not real "jazz"(I better be carful how I use that word don't want the Jazz police to come after me)but neither is acid jazz to most but the folks who listen to that consider it real jazz. To each his own, maybe a Firestone AT ... 
Fourplay ...yes please Jazz CD
I really liked this disk as well but for some reason I remeber a stereopile(not a typo) write up which states this CD is the calaboration of 4 artists with no talent, they must not have been listening to the same CD I got, its the only explanation... 
more major players jumping on the sacd bandwagon
Well in the timeless SACD vs. The World battle there are those who support it, and those who deplore it. It does not matter what you tell these folks they will not budge, they like it or they don't, not much middle ground in the SACD battle very l... 
Is my DVD player POSSESSED?
Glen, what's up. I ran into the same problem with my Sony dvp-s9000es player, it plays part way through the DVD until a certain spot and then it shuts down and spits the disc out, HUH???? I tried it in both my parents and my brothers player and it... 
Cheapest SACDs?
Check out www.amusicdirect.com they have the cheapest price I have found, I have not bought one in a while and do not recall if it is less then 18 but I know it is not more for the cheaper ones. 
Avalon or ProAc?
Once again Kelly says what I was thinking, yet unable to say. I agree completely with cornfed's coments, I am an Avalon owner as well(eclipse)and I will probably never own another type of speaker as long as they keep up to the good work. The only ... 
Home theater system only plays Pro logic, no digital or DTS
Mine does the same thing, except I have a Sony DVP-S9000es and an Acurus ACT3. Seems the only thing in common is SONY maybe I should check my owners manual, I thought it had to be the Acurus for some reason, maybe someone else will shed some light... 
Where to buy DVD As and SACDs on the net
www.amusicdirect.com has the BEST price on SACD's with out a doubt, I never compared the prices on DVDa, but I imagine it will be equally as good. 
speaker drivers; where to purchase and which one's?
Not sure what drivers you have but check out zalytron.com they have a large selection of high-end drivers and if they have it you will not find a better price anywhere. 
Ideas for audio related jobs in Boulder/Denver?
Not trying to put a damper on your parade but if you really enjoy Hi-Fi audio as a hobby don't do it for a living!! You will get burned out very quickly and loose your eager attitude towards it and in the end probably end up disliking audio becaus...
