Are active speakers the best upgrade
I am no expert, but I can't help thinking that keeping the electronics away from the vibrations, magnetic fields and limted heat dissipation that come with most speakers might be a better idea. I do agree that putting the amps before the crossover... 
Which comm. speaker mfgr. makes the best cabinet?
Well done, Zaikesman. I can't help but wonder if future omni-directional designs will be less dependent on cabinets. 
Are active speakers the best upgrade
TacT might lead us into the future. 
Best Inexpensive Tuner?
Denon TU-800 would be a good used recommendation especially if you live in an urban environment or where favorite stations are close to adjacent strong signals. 
Male Jazz singers - any recommendations?
Chazzbo, I'll give most anybody one more try at entertaining me. Are any of the above recommendations available on CD? 
Male Jazz singers - any recommendations?
Bbtuna, I think that Tom Waits "Nighthawks at the diner" certainly qualifies as a Jazz recording. Now some of you will think me inconsistent recommending this Tom Waits (HIGHLY!) recording after I just blasted Chet Baker's voice.Waits is hardly a ... 
Male Jazz singers - any recommendations?
To each his own, and I wouldn't deny you your joy. But I just can't stand Chet Baker's voice. He was flat, off key and had no range or dynamics. Just an over rated pretty boy junkie "pop" Jazz marketing tool. He left behind a rather infamous reput...

You might find a used Luxman T-117 for under $300. Fair warning, last I heard Luxman no longer supports the US market.

Speakers Needed: Audiophile Taste - Low Budget
Please bear in mind that most "bookshelf" speakers sound best on stands out from the walls. As such, they can present a hazard to clumsy little ones (not to mention that many of the stands have ferocious spikes). Even on shelves they must be well ... 
Customer service?
Wait a minute, first I have my faith in the free enterprise system restored, then a "DEALER" actually compliments the manufacturer of a line he doesn't carry! What's going on here, is this a dream? I usually don't have high regard for dealers, but... 
Customer service?
Chuck, FYI I use C-J too. 
What is the right thing here................
The more I think of it, the idea that both woofers were blown after you sent them out in good working condition is incredulous. The replacement of the inappropriate woofer is appropriate compensation. Shame on the dealer! 
What is the right thing here................
How about sharing the name of the dealer who did such a shabby job replacing the woofer in the first place. As they were not DOA, it seems to me that this flim flam procedure is the root of your problem. With out this obvious inconsistentcy there ... 
What is the right thing here................
If the amplification he used was within the speaker manufacturers recommendations, then I agree with Wloeb.
