Great Rock & Roll speakers?
IMHO Paradigms suck for rock and roll. Just MO. I have had several different models that I had tried in my HT setup. I didn't even think they worked well for HT. They have the worst tweeter I have heard in any level of speaker. Actually I think th... 
Sony DVP S3000 skips
I hate to say it but I agree with you. Just 3 days ago my Sony RPTV took a crap. It's 6 years old and I can't find a Sony tech to look at it. 
Help a complete vidio idiot

I would look into the used market for something a little better for the same price. Maybe the Sony ES series. I have owned 2 HK's and I have to agree that,musicaly they suck. If you are going to be doing HT only, you would be better off with the E... 
Rogue Audio Stealth Phono Stage?
I use the stealth with a MMF7 which comes with the Goldring Eroica cart. In the beggining I had some problems with the sound. Very thin with hardly any bass. I replaced the felt pad on the TT and the music came to life. I am enjoying every second ... 
Question for Ex-Maggie Owners
Mainly because they were not right for my musical taste. They sound wonderful for certain types of music. I grew up with and still listen to 70's rock. Maggies just don't do justice the way cones do. 
Preamp suggestions 1200$ used
I thought that with the CL15 you did not need a preamp. Why don't you give that a try and use the volume control of the CL15

Harman Kardon AVR85
You can adjust the level up or down. Have you tried that?
