Ever Bought an Audio Product that was Stupid Good for the Money?
I found a pair of Infinity Primus 360 speakers for $125.  I think these sold for around $750 new.  Great deal at the full price, but crazy good for $125. Great full sound, detailed but not fatiguing.   
Movies that featured High End equipment
Bosch mentioned above also has a Mac tube amp and a vintage Marantz turntable.  In the show Elementary, the main character has Mac electronics and turntable.  I can't tell for sure, but I think the speakers are KEF or Monitor Audio. 
Best Jazz pianist
For me it's Bill Evans.  I get more joy from listening to Bill Evans' music than just about anyone in jazz.  I love jazz piano, and really like Ahmad Jahmal, Red Garland,  and Oscar Peterson to name a few.Great topic.

PSB Imagine T2 upgrade over Focal 726V ?
I have a friend who has the T2's and they are really great speakers. Nice top-end without glare, full sound and excellent tight bass. I've heard them quite a few times,and always emjoyed them. He runs them with a Bryston amp.

To test the room, I've tried mine in a larger room in my house. It did make a difference, sounded better.

Tbromgard, have you heard the new Prelude Plus speakers? I had the Preludes and really liked them. Was considering the new Plus model, but can't find any reviews. 
Recommendation for new 5-ch Amp
I am also looking into Emotiva gear, the XPA-2 for my front speakers. The 300w intrigues me, and I've owned other Emo equipment, and I like their stuff.

I have had this amp for almost 2 yrs. I had it set-up both ways, and did not notice a difference in home theater applications. I use the current setting as I like it better for music.Great amp, I really like mine.
