@immatthewj, It's been a minute, but I think I felt that Cafe Blue is A+. I mostly listen to 60s, 70s rock, and 80s pop. Yes, when I listen to country it's Waylon, Willie, Brooks & Dunn, Johnny, etc... Just listened to a great Clint Black a...

@immatthewj , me too. SACD, HDCD, DVD-A, Blu-Ray, and of course CD! I was making a little fun because I love hearing any well-recorded album, but I still listen most of the time to rock, pop, and classic country. Have the same Cafe Blue UN-Mast...

Every one of the Krall and Barber albums I own are recorded extremely well.  But then, so are every one of my Pink Floyd and Dire Straits albums. Somehow I never seem to get around to listening to any more DK or PB...

MLAS 436 shipping carton?

Another +1 for Parasound Also Vincent. They have no problem driving low ohms. I'm using one to drive my 803s  
Did you ever buy too much bass?
@erik_squires  Yes! Unbelievable how a car can be so good in driving experiences and yet be so bad when listening to music.  
Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound?
PS, my speakers are deep, about 18". So the drivers are all about 30" from the front wall.  
Why does pulling out main speakers from wall improve sound?
