So how about this - Right now there's a pair of Chorus 710s right here on A'gon for $425. I just sent him email.I'll put in a request to buy the Chorus CC700 and a pair of SR700s. These should be inexpensive enough to pick up in a little bit I gue...

Hey Slappy,Probably around 2K. I certainly considered the Chorus line. The only problem is finding them used. My wife is letting me use a small portion of the profit from the sale of our Condo to buy this stuff...if I don't do it now, it's gone.So...

I also bought the 40" two years ago. No regrets - it's been rock solid. My Father-In-Law just purchased the 34" 16x9 XBR this year and it's awesome too. The Sony XBRs are pretty solid units....solid like my 40" weighs in at 326lbs. Weight is a con...

Most involving and thrilling moviemusic?

Best Audio Related Story (or joke).
So I'll tell a story....it's not audio related, but rather computer system related.I am a systems engineer for the Walt Disney Company. 4 years ago when I was new and green, I went into the Data Center to replace a system board on a Sun server. We...

opinion on electronics for Vandy 2Ce Sig
Thanks for the advice folks!Kt 88,Right now, it looks like a tube pre and a SS amp. But, after looking around a bit, I wouldn't be against something like Rogue M-120 Monoblocks...tubes, but you can't see them. I've never heard them, so I don't kno...
