Samsung buys Harman for $8B
gdhal,What Samsung product have you had problems with that has left you unhappy with their service? 
Dynaudio C1 compared to Harbeth Super HL5 plus?
I had the C1. Then went to Harbeth Compact 7. Now I have the 30.1. I heard the SHL5+ at a dealer. As has been written, the Dyns need plenty of clean power, and sound best at louder volumes. The Harbeths are much more musical to my ears.donjr,Give ...

I have a pair of the Bronze 2 in a small system that I rarely use. I am also familiar with the overall Rega sound, although not having heard the Brio-R. I agree with erik_squires. The Silver series, which I once heard at a dealer,  will have a gre...

Another recommendation for Gene Rubin. Very personal, helpful, and professional. I have purchased from him more than once. Satisfied every time.  
Dark Side of the Moon - Is MFSL really all that?
Hopefully Mofimadness will weigh in on this. He is well versed on all things MFSL. 
Integrated or Amp/Preamp combo for Magnepan 1.7
A friend of mine uses a Vincent SV-236 with his 1.7s. He swapped out the stock tubes with Telefunkens. Sounds great. Never seems to run out of steam at louder levels.

Brian,The 70W output of the Prima Luna HP is insufficient to hear what is possible from the Focus 140s. I owned a pair of the 140s when they were first released a few years back. Dynaudio specs state power handling as 200W. Give them at least 150W... 
Soundtracks that you listen all the way through and it's all great.
