Best Plasma sony,pioneer.Panasonic ?
Pioneers are decent, especially if buy the PDP-4330 (for a 43" plasma - it is a commercial model). This is because they have a card slot that you can add connections with. A few others have this, but Pioneer is great about that. The blacks could b... 
Floorstanding Speakers
There are floorstanders that are designed to be close to walls - Royd Audio is one of them - http://www.roydaudio.com . They are a small british company that make speakers at the same level as Dynaudio and Totem.Dave 
Can speakers be too good?
I would suggest, if you can find them to listen to, some Royd Audio speakers http://www.roydaudio.com . They are a smaller british company and make some fine sounding speakers. Castle, Rega, and Neat are some other british speaker companies to try... 
Alternative to Speaker spikes
Buggtussel loudspeakers makes rounded brss feet for their speakers. They do not puncture the carpeting, and do a good job of connecting the speakers to the floor. I think they will sell them separate.Dave 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
I would say Royd Audio from England. I know of only 3 dealers of the speakers between Canada and the US. Royd is a small manufacturer of speakers and are not very well known in the US but they do have a cult following in Japan. I have a pair of Do...

Wharfedale Emerald 93 Opinions
I forgot to mention that Wharfedale is now owned by IAG, which owns Qaud also. I think they are trying to bring back this speaker name. 
Wharfedale Emerald 93 Opinions
I own two sets of Wharfedales - Diamond 7.2's and the MFM-1's. They are not bad speakers for the money, especially the Diamonds - read a review on them.http://www.tnt-audio.com/casse/wharf72e.htmlDave 
Which speaker is the master of IMAGING ????
I think you could get as many answers as people on this forum. I think this is a 'non-question'. I think if the speaker is of decent quality and setup properly, one should get a decent image from it.Dave 
Opinions - Best ever Adcom model???
What about pre-amp/amp combos. I am in the process of acquiring an Adcom GFP-1 preamp to go along with a 1979 Mitsubishi DA-A10DC amp (dno't laugh - it is a powerhouse amp!!).Dave 
Japanese/Asian Speakers???
I also found out that there is a Japanese cult following for various british speakers made by small boutique companies. Royd Audio is one these companies.Dave

Home HiFi better than Live?
I heard Tangerine Dream in concert once and did they have a sound system!! This was probably during 1986 - they used an all Canton sound system - WOW - Loud and Painful. You could hear the bass thumping in your chest!!!I think the concert going ex... 
Speaker Suggestion for teenage pre-stereophile
For around 500 dollars I will suggest looking at the Monitor Audio Silver S1 bookshelf speaker - very nice sounding and nice looking speaker.Dave

Do you floorstanding or stand-mounted speakers - the Thiels are floorsatnders but you could really only get the smaller one used for that price.What are you lookng for in a speaker - what characteristics do you like or don't like.I really haven't ...
