| New SACD player-replacing current setup I can vote in favor of the Marantz SA line. I use an SA8004 in my main system (and a Cambridge blue ray 651 in my HT set up). I've compared the Marantz and the Cambridge in my main system and the Marantz just seems more musical. I've upgraded ever... | |
| Most enjoyable speaker you heard under $800?? Expos ELS 3. If I recall $300 a pair. Sweet musicality. Then came stands, lead shot in the stands, the matching sub, cable upgrades, a bigger amp...For me it all started with those speakers. I still have the speakers and stands in my office system... | |

| Is dedicated PreAmp with Oppo 105 needed? Audio Advisors was selling NuForce MCP18s for $599. A steal. I bought one and never looked back. it is very very quiet and does nothing wrong. | |
| Best multichannel amp for quality stereo listening For years I used an Anthem AVR processor - the AVM 20 and then the AVM 30 as my preamp in a two channel system. I did this for the bass management capabilities primarily, but overall it was an excellent two channel pre amp that you can pick up for... | |

| How good are recievers these days? I usa a Pioneer Elite SC72 in my 3.1 HT system. With a Canbridge BD650, I am amazed how good the sound is with CD, SACD, and DVD-A. I use def tech monitors and center channel and subwoofer. Upstairs, I run def tech ST 8080s in my main stereo syste... | |

| Need New Bookshelf Speakers of Certain 'Style' I had a similar situation and was very happy with Tetris 120u monitors. Canadian made, very musical--a favorite brand among musicians. The 120u monitor is top ported, and can be placed anywhere. I had them on the floor on 4 inch maple plinths--got... | |
| where to go from here..,, I had an Anthem AVM 30 in my two channel system for bass management. When i changed my speakers to Def Tech BP8080s with built in subs i no longer needed bass management, but i kept the Anthem in my system. Among HT procssors it has a reputation f... | |
| Personal speaker evolution Interesting, i never thought about it, but speakers are the componet i change the least.1. Technics Phase Linear were the first decent pair. Ran them from 1976 and to 1992! My nephew still uses them.2. Definitive Technology powered monitors, 450s ... | |
| old high end v. new entry level: audience I am leaning towards the Conductor SE over the Audience Au24 for that reason. Gain the SE benefits even if the conductor material is not the Au 24s OHNO copper. Price is roughly the same between the new Conductor SE and the used Au 24. | |
