Why pay "more" for USED??
Mcoker, I kept watch of the same auction. I about fell out of my chair! I thought was a dumb $&%! I was even talking about it at work today. I almosted emailed the guy to ask why he would spend more than list on a set of speakers that has MAJO... 
9B-ST for Home Theater Amp
I'm not sure what speakers you use, but here's another suggestion. A while back I went from an Acurus A250 to an Aragon 8008BB. The first thing I noticed was more "bass slam." Based on that, I think you might get similar results from an Aragon 800... 
Help with amp selection
I currently own the Aragon 8008BB a few models ahead of the 2004MKII. I am quite happy with the amp. It is detailed and provides excellent power and bass slam. However, it is on the aggressive side and can be a tad dry. Therefore, I would not reco... 
Trouble in Paradise with my Danes?
Try switching the two speakers and play the same passage that has caused the problem. If the problem is still there on the Right speaker (no on the left) is doing the same thing it is the music. If the Left speaker (now on the right) is doing the ... 
Aerial, Dynaudio, Soliloquy, or ProAc s
Thanks for the opinions guys. I agree the 3.3 and 10T are excellent speakers. My only concern is that I move around alot and am usually in small apartments. Some of these speakers may be too much for small to mid sized room. Therefore they may not... 
best 5 channel amp for home theater
I interpreted Class "A" the same way sdcampbell did. But now I see there is another option! 
Pre/Pro for $2K
Here are some other options. For around $1,500-$2,000 used, you should look into the Classe SSP-25 or EAD TheaterMaster Encore. Both are realtively bare-bone units but have excellent reputation for 2 channel stereo. The TheaterMaster Encore is upg... 
TIGERLILY "UPGRADE"
Actually, I just saw the DVD audio version at a Virgin Records in NYC. Anyone listen to it? 
Bryston 4B ST Opinions Needed Please
Here are your contenders in this price range: Aragon 8008BB, Bryston 4BST, Classe (can't recall the model number), McCormack DNA 1 (not quite 200 watts @ 8 ohms) If your willing to spend a little more there's the Krell KAV250. I'm sure others will... 
Cannot play DTS sound help needed
Many movies are set to Dolby Digital as the default. You may have tried this, but go into the audio or language set-up in the Gladiator DVD and select DTS as the option. Also if you are using the reciever to do the surround processing and not the ... 
Anyone ever opened MIT cables?
If you're really curious this may guide you in the right direction. I remember 4-5 years back one of the home theater magazine (I'm almost certain it was,surprisingly enough, Home Theater Magazine) actually cut open a set of MIT cables and took a ... 
best speakers with denon 3300
I think for $1,500 you have tons of options. I would, however, advise against the M&K THX speakers or any THX speakers for that matter if music is important to you. These THX speakers are designed for movies and many are great at it. The probl... 
Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD?
Nate, I'm telling you as a guy who started just like you, don't go crazy on the receiver. Check out how many receivers are on the audiogon website and see how many don't sell. I would get a decent receiver used or one new on-line and save the mone... 
Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD?
I thought some more about my Best Buy/Circuit City comment. I would look at what they have and then buy it online for cheaper. The only downside to this is that once you buy a receiver like this it'll have little to no resale value. If you buy at ... 
Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD?
Nate, I started my love for audio as a sophomore in college and really got into it because of Home Theater. I'm now 29. I found as I got more into it, I became much more critical on two-channel than HT because when watching movies, you get drawn i...
