Recommendation for Wall Mounted Speaker
We sell Definitive Technology, Triad, and PSB speakers. All of which make great on-wall speakers. Some come in standard lengths, but the Triad's can be custom made to fit any screen size. If you are looking at small cube style, then I would go Def... 
speakers to go with Musical Fidelity a5.5 amp
We often combine the MF integrated with the Dynaudio Countour S1.4 and C1 monitors, both of which are a bit out of your price range, tho. The Dynaudio Focus 140 is an option. But, another great speaker that mates very well is the PSB Synchrony One B. 
which Brand of Reciever produces the Best Audio?
The Yamaha RX-Z7 sounds wonderful for a receiver as does the Marantz SR8002, which is now out of date. If I were to choose a receiver, it would be the Z7 because of it's attractive price and real-to-life power it delivers. Of course I do like the ...

PSB Synchrony One's or Legacy Classic HD's
Valinar, in that room we have the Dynaudio Sub500's as well as the Triad Gold In-room subs. Both are excellent. 
PSB Synchrony One's or Legacy Classic HD's
Hard to find that perfect speaker. That's part of the fun of this hobby. As much as I love the PSB Sync One, my ears prefer Dynaudio speakers. In terms of neutrality, Dynaudio is just about perfect. I have the Sync One playing right now and next t... 
PSB Synchrony One's or Legacy Classic HD's
As a PSB dealer I own the Sync One's are really like them. They are not fatiguing at all, which I love most about them. The bass is clean and tight and reward with proper amplification. One of the best out there in it's price range.Always been a f... 
Aerial 9 vs Dynaudio Contour S 5.4
Both great speakers and I have experience with both. I prefer the Dynaudios, but as a dealer some bias creeps in. Both will require a large amount of current to get the most out of them. The Theta is a decent amp and will work just fine, though. I... 
PSB Platinum or Synchrony one ?
The T8 is certainly not bass-shy and is a fine speaker, but you have to consider that the Sync One is much more room friendly in most cases.As for build quality....Dude, the Sync One is much better imho. Ah, to each their own, though. ;-) 
Very best 5 ch amp to feed a complete PSB system
Disclaimer: (PSB Dealer here). We use three amps the majority of the time with the PSB Synchrony One system (Parasound, Bryston, NAD). Currently, with our Synchrony theater room I have the Parasound Halo A51 driving them. IMHO, this is an outstand... 
PSB Platinum or Synchrony one ?
Own both (PSB dealer), if it were me I would go with the Synchrony One. Not only is it the current model, but it sounds better imho. Not that the T8 was bad or anything, it was anything but, the Synchrony One just takes it to the next level in ref... 
RBH T-2 feedback requested
You probably won't get a lot of high praises for RBH around here. But, there are all kinds of glowing reviews of RBH on Audioholics.com, though. Personally, I cannot stomach the website for my own personal reasons. Should take you all of about 5 s... 
Dynaudio Audience 52SE vs. Contour S1.4
Kenneth,Dyn dealer here. As good as the 52se is, it in no way compares to the S1.4. The S1.4 is the better. The S1.4 requires more current to get the most out of the speaker, however, it will reward you for doing so. The S1.4 has the better bass i... 
Dynaudio sub with C1's
Goatwuss is dead-on. The C1's with a Sub500 will not better the C4's overall for all the reasons stated.However, I've owned the C1's with dual Sub500's and I loved the combination together. The Dynaudio subs don't get the praise that they deserve,... 
Experience with Dynaudio Audience 82??
Hard to tell at the moment. There is so much product out there from just about every manufacturer. There are some really GREAT deals that can be found on both new and used product. The 82's rarely are seen here on Audiogon, though. You'll have to ...
