| Why receivers aren't worth the "competetive price" The letting go that JONT above discusses is a real good point.I find when I get a new TV I am hyper for a week or so and then magically I see the good and ignore the flaw/s. Not so with my audiophilia nervosa!The point about the big box retailers ... | |

| Seeking Tube Integr. Advice for klipsch forte I had Fortes for years, running on 25 wpc VTL Tiny Triodes (not integrated amps though). Quite nice. I could make it loud enough that I didn't want to be in the room.The issue of bass though is really one of damping factor and that's a measure of ... | |

| How would you describe your class D amp's sound? In my system the H20 sounded unimpressive versus my tube amp. The NuForce 8b is much more pleasing. I am awaiting the ref 9. YMMV. Audience Au24 speaker cables, WP7s.Bob Woodhttp://www.GreatHomeTheater.comhttp://www.woodsgoods2.blogspot.com | |

| Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge Agree with Klipschhorns or Avantgardes. Also consider hanging some decorative carpets from rafters to help tame room reflections.Best regards!Bob Woodwww.GreatHomeTheater.com |
