I'll have a Britney with that Taco.
No worse than the Disney self-destructing dvd "rentals". I'm amazed they were permitted to bring that to market. I can only hope the public snubs that product. 
Need help on HT speaker system
I am jealous!! I have a B&K 7 channel amp and the Ref30, driving Snell XA75's and SR5's for rear channel. All I'm missing is the big format tv. How do you like the Samsung? 
Snell Reference A Tower v. Paradigm Studio 100 v2
I've owned different Snell products for over 15 years, and I love them. For my needs and tastes, they make an outstanding product. But using Adcoms to drive Snell Reference A's is like using a lawnmower engine to power an Porsche...definitely a di... 
Snell Reference A Tower v. Paradigm Studio 100 v2
If you don't have a problem with Adcom amps driving your Snell Reference A's, then you shouldn't have a problem downgrading the Snells to a lower pricepoint speaker. However, as you asked for opinions, I say keep the Snells and upgrade the electro... 
Lexicon MC-1, Classe SSP-50 or Krell HTS
If you like your Classe amplification, I suggest you give the Classe processor a serious look. If you can find the SSP50 for $2k, you've found a real steal. The HTS will be closer to $3k. The Classe SSP30 might be worth a look, at around $2k used.... 
Identify High-end DCM speaker
Time Window, Time Frame...I knew it was something like that... ;-) 
Identify High-end DCM speaker
are they the Time Windows?? 
Mcintosh Vs Proceed
They're both good products, you are the only judge for what qualities you will find pleasing. Some years ago I owned a McIntosh 2205 and loved its power and its looks, not to mention it was built like a tank. My opinion is that you really wouldn't... 
5 ch amp decision- opinions please
You may want to add the B&K 7250 or 7270 to your list. 
B&K Ref 30 or Anthem AV2
Ref30 is newer than the AVM2, which to me is an advantage. Anthem gives you balanced outputs, B&K doesn't. For most uses, that won't make any sonic difference. Now, if you're talking about the new Anthem AVM20 vs. the Ref30, that's a whole dif... 
MC-1 or Ref 30
I went through the same decision process, but ended up going with the Ref30. Price and reputation led me that way, but the Ref30 had plenty of positive user feedback, and in my research I never really found anyone who disliked the unit. You usuall... 
mark levinsn would this be an upgrade
The ML11 is rated at 50 watts, but Levinson typically rates their gear conservatively. I don't know what it actually specs out at, but it pushes a lot of current. The bass is solid, tight, and quick, and the mids and highs are neutral. It's a good... 
Why do people think I'm nuts involving audio?
I love technology. I wouldn't mind touring any of the high-end shops. Enjoy it and be proud of your hobby!! 
Need opinions: Proceed AVP vs. Anthem AVM20
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with points in both replies, which is why I'm having a difficult time with the decision.The Proceed AVP is obviously of excellent quality. My concern with Proceed is the dead-end that became of the PAV/PDSD. Those ... 
are older speakers anywhere close to the new stuff?
Agreed. Age does not really have much of a bearing with a well-designed product. I have a pair of Snell A2's made in 1982 which are in excellent condition. I just factory refurbished them with new mids and reconed original woofers. The sound is cl...
