Magico Q7 . . . wow
BMW is the new joke at the Honda and Toyota dealers. I have a very good friend that has owned 4 different BMWs and got so tired of them being at the dealer for reapirs he finally bought a new Toyota and never looked back.Ever heard of Edmunds and ... 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
No, just stating facts... 
Thoughts from THE Show, is $29k the new $10k?
I truly believe that someone in this hobby that spends "more than they should" likely appreciates the gear more. My long time dealer of 20+ years had these people come into his store all the time, rolling up in a $90k BMW or Mercedes (the new Ford... 
Which monitor speaker to choose??
I owned the Sonus Faber Concertino Domus... very, very nice sound (esp. on tubes). I would take these over the newer SF monitors.

I only meant "entry-level" for Magico - Magico would consider them their entry leve (least expensive) speaker.I think anyone actually calling any audio component "entry level" that cost that much needs their head examined. 
ok, lets talk about set up in a home theater
Agree with removing that subwoofer ASAP. Get a B$W sub at least. 
Two-channel is inferior to multi-channel, no?
Anyone that thinks that music sounds better in multi-channel than stereo has not heard a decent 2-ch setup yet. 
why use towers if you've got a sub??
REL subwoofers were/are not designed for studio use. They are MUSICAL subs and mainly used for 2-ch music systems and as such are simply some of the BEST subwoofers for that application. For the money, JL Audio makes very good subs for HT. If I ca...

Agree with Polk432...Too many speakers (and other gear), that is hidiously over-priced. Magico is one that comes to mind... unecessarily over-built and over-priced as a result. All the "guts" of that speaker IS NOT NEEDED to create good sound.If y... 
CD upgrade.
No, just a fan. Go troll somewhere else, unless you have a comment about this subject. 
CD upgrade.
I bought the Akurate DS as demo ($5,500), normally $7,500 I think retail, the NAS w/ 3TB drive was about $350, the iPad was $350. Router is just a std. wireless router I already had setup. You do not even really "need" a separate NAS... you could ... 
CD upgrade.
A LINN Akurate DS I meant... 
CD upgrade.
I have a LINN Akurate CD running 24/96 and 24/192 FLAC or WAV and I access my entire library from my iPad. The files were ripped off CDs that I owned, borrowed from friends or checked out from the library. I used DbPowermap (either free or stupid ... 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
Actually, at less than half the price, they DO give the Magico a run for the money. You say "It's not even close"... really? The price of the Q3 (or any Magico for that matter) is NOWHERE NEAR justified - it is ridulous actually. And when you are ... 
Magico Q7 . . . wow
Suteetat...Maybe it sounds better (to some), but AGAIN, my point is that is cost a ton more. Let's compare apples to apples.
