Absolute Best DVD Player?
Nordostman, the Ayre fully loaded is almost $12000, three times Rick's guigeline. You are right about the CAL units running circles around Sony in regular CD playback, ( I use the Cal CL2500-SSP), But the CAL units DO NOT beat the Camelot Round Ta... 
Absolute Best DVD Player?
As I said, I haven't even hooked up the Sony. It has been my experience that the differences between all of the top-of-the-line DVD players ( Toshiba,Pioneer,Sony,Etc.), when playing a high quality DVD are slight at best. There will be some slight...

Absolute Best DVD Player?
According to these experts it's the Camelot Round Table, by a long shot. http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_7_4/dvd-benchmark-progressive-shootout-12-2000. html http://www.hometheaterhifi.com/volume_7_4/dvd-benchmark-part-5-progressive-10-2000.... 
EAD Signature,Proceed AVP or Lexicon MC1
Bhai, why don't you order all three from members, have them shipped C.O.D., then when they get delivered, have UPS wait while you hook each one up to your system. Decide which one you like best, then refuse to pay for the other two. This scenario ... 
Avantgarde UNO Opinions
Oatalay, try driving your Uno's with a relatively inexpensive SET amp. If your still unhappy with the presentation, take Slartibartfast's advice and try the Eidolon's. They are far and away better than the Uno's. Of course you'll need to spend at ... 
Avantgarde Uno Loudspeakers: Comments?
Khrys, yes ma'am. I was sitting on the floor, working on the woofer and one of my kids knocked the speaker over, midrange horn landed slap on my head. Took two hours to get my head unstuck! 
Uno Owners-Which speaker cable ?
Prostarsound, took your advice and ordered two 2A3 SET Amps to use with the Uno's.

Khrys, please accept my apology for the above comment. When I posed that question I didn't know you were a woman. I would never have been anything but gentlemanly had I known. Again, sincere apologies

CornfedBOY, Your moniker implies you were raised on a farm by a wonderful Christian mother. Perhaps you should consider moving back home and giving her another chance to teach you some manners (assuming, of course, you don't still live with your m...

Khrys, you didn't have your head stuck in the midrange horn while you were listening did you? Any Uno or Duo owner who agrees with Khrys, please email me with a price. Prefer v2.0. 
Krell HTS vs. Proceed AVP
If, as you say, 2ch music is no factor, go with the Lexicon MC-1. HTwise it is incredible. Remember, we are talking about HT, you don't want to know what I think of it for 2ch. It's hard to beleive how good this unit is for HT. If 2ch were a facto...
