Tube amp / SS pre or SS amp / Tube pre?
Somone who's opinion I respect, told of an unlikely but suprisingly good system with Mark Levinson pre going into VTL mono amps.

Subaruguru, it's been over a month and all you recieved were a couple of e-mailed photos of diodes and caps? They've got to be kidding! Recently, Thiel arranged for shipping for both my floor standing speakers to their factory where they tested th... 
CD vs DVD audio??
For what ever it's worth my kids Pioneer DV-440 DVD player sounds better playing 2 channel DVD's than CD's. 
Room correction EQs with omnidirectional speakers?
I don't know the answer, but please get back to us it you find out. If I had the money and the space I'd love to try an all Huff omni's and subs with all Tact gear system. 
Need some advice on stereo speakers
I'll second the Vandersteen recommendation.

You can pretty much use any of them. The older Quad ESL 63's were often paired with c-j tube mono amps. I don't know from personal experience but many here seem to like tubes and c-j's with Spendors as well. You might want to contact c-j. They hav... 
Thiel Powerplane and Powerpoint Speakers
Ksales, from what I understand your room set up is a little unconventional. Assuming that your listneing postion is going to be off center from the video source, and with your priorities in mind, I have to agree that you are on the right track. On... 
Speaker priority: high or low???

High value floorstanders around $1k used
Perhaps Linn? 
Thiel Powerplane and Powerpoint Speakers
Hi Ksales. I personally don't care for Rotel with Thiels. Ideally one would have the center channel set back further than the side channels. Perhaps using the SCS for side channels and a Powerpoint for the center channel might be a bit better. Unl... 
Arguments for or against dedicated vs combo CD/DVD
Tok2000, your point about having back up sources has some merit. How ever, I think the savings could be substantialy greater than your figures indicate and those figures don't account for the expense of all the extra cables, etc. If all those savi... 
Recommendation for cd/SACD player with this system
Sea2, yes for CD, no for SACD. 
Arguments for or against dedicated vs combo CD/DVD
Socrates, you are probably correct in your assesment of the current state of affairs. That assesment does not take into consideration the short period of time and the low number of "combi" players that are compared to much greater number of dedica...

Your amp choice will depend your speakers, room, desired volume and sonic tastes. 
Arguments for or against dedicated vs combo CD/DVD
Tok2000, combo players actually save on parts because they don't have to duplicate the redundant parts that seperate players would use. There is also savings in packaging, marketing, transporting and inventory. Combo players reduce the cost of cab...
