How about an Audiogon poll for 2004? Categories?
I'd like to throw one into the mix possibly.....best live concert DVD? Might there be a market for that one in this list?Z 
SACD... is this all there is?
Hey Slappy,You can also do a search for sacd on Amazon.com. When I did this last week, I came up with about 130 titles....small but there are some there, and they're not all classical.Good Luck,Z 
What did YOU get for Christmas?
So last year we (my wife) got pregnant. This year, I actually got a bunch of stereo gear! WOOOOHOOOO. Life is good.Z 
Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
Pehare,You are the first person I've run into within these forums that knows who Jack Williams is. Really happy there is another fan here! I've been a big Jack fan for years now, I've probably seen him a dozen times live. He's an amazing player.Ch... 
Amp Help for an amature
I am going to post here, 'cause I'm considering two of the three amps listed...I have JM Labs Chorus speakers (The 715s...2&1/2 way floor standers). I am going to add a subwoofer, so I am not too worried about 'bass slam'. They are 91dbs effic... 
Looking for an acoustic guitar recording..
These are mostly bluegrass/jazz/folk type stuff, but all excellent:1)Anything by Jerry Douglas, but esp. "Slide Rule"2)Anything by Jack Williams - "Eternity and Main" and "Winterline" are his best, IMO. Folk player, incredible picker3)I second Tom...

Best Soundtracks
I really like the soundtrack to "Ocean's 11" - the remake, not the original. "Ocean's 12" is okay, but the first one is really good.

Well, wasn't quite fast enough on the 710s. The search continues... 
finally have purchase approval
I'll do that and again I thank you! I think I got a little caught up in review-itis for a few days, and overlooked the Chorus stuff because the reviews weren't as stellar as some other stuff, and for that I should be spanked.I already have a Sony ...

So how about this - Right now there's a pair of Chorus 710s right here on A'gon for $425. I just sent him email.I'll put in a request to buy the Chorus CC700 and a pair of SR700s. These should be inexpensive enough to pick up in a little bit I gue...

Hey Slappy,Probably around 2K. I certainly considered the Chorus line. The only problem is finding them used. My wife is letting me use a small portion of the profit from the sale of our Condo to buy this stuff...if I don't do it now, it's gone.So... 
After all this: CRT HD Television it 'tis....
I also bought the 40" two years ago. No regrets - it's been rock solid. My Father-In-Law just purchased the 34" 16x9 XBR this year and it's awesome too. The Sony XBRs are pretty solid units....solid like my 40" weighs in at 326lbs. Weight is a con...
