Wharfedale Diamond Anniv 8.2s vs Mon Audio Brnz 1
I don't think you'll be disappointed with either speaker. I've listen to both speakers, unfortunatly at different times and different places, so I can't give you an accurate comparison.I do remember that I was very suprised by the sound that came ... 
Denon AVR3803 VS. Marantz SR7300OSE
Tommyt, we think exactly alike. those are the same two receivers I narrowed it down to myself. IMHO, the Marantz edges out the Denon in music, while the Denon wins in HT. Of course alot depends on what your hooking it up to and with what your hook... 
Are there any receivers that have dual 12 inputs
Ya know, I didn't even think of preamps. Thanks Kr4. Are there any other recommendations in preamps? The sony is pretty hard to find. 
Have you ever deceived your wife-audio purchase
O.k., now that we found that we're not alone in this shadowy world of double dealing and strechting the truth, I think we need to start a support group for when we do get caught? and you will one day. Me, I'm lucky, I can't afford 3 or 4 thousand ... 
Terminology?
I know how you feel, every day I come to this site, there's some word or acronym used that I don't know. I've been able to find the meanings of most of them through searches of past threads, that can sometimes take hours. Maybe Audiogon can create...

If your really looking at saving some money and want a plug and play go to Audio Advisor, they have Music Hall MMF-1 for $179.00. Thats what I did for an entry level table. Haven't had any problems yet. 
Good HT, bad 2 channel. On Budget, Any advise?
I know your confusion, I'm pretty much in the same boat, want to upgrade to better components, but don't know were to start. Our budget's sound about the same. I don't know if I want to go with a new receiver, a wide screen HDTV, or go to seperate... 
what is a good sound stage suppose to sound like?
Thank's to everyone for the great examples of what to listen for in a good sound stage. I think that I'll ticker with my system like this more on cleaning day's. That way my wife won't get to upset since I'm still cleaning. I'll probably have to p... 
will a receiver upgrade make a enough difference
If your older Mitshubishi doesn't have DD or DTS, you'll notice a big difference when watching movies with those formats. If you buy a new receiver with prologic II,you should get more out of your music and television.

I need a recording with a good drum solo .
Wdhsvbgod, No I don't think so, but I could be wrong, I remember Gene Simmons sang the lead on this song. I'd have to break out my old records to be sure what it was. I haven't listened to Kiss since the 70's. Every once in awhile I'll hear some o...

Theres a killer drum solo by peter chris of kiss, I can't remember the song title, but I do remeber it was on their Kiss alive II album. 
Opinions on Fluance...
I havent heard the Fluance's before, so I can't real say how good they are, but I have heard the Wharfedale Diamond series as well as Athena Technoligies Audition F1 and F2. Both can be gotten used for around $300.00 and are excellent speakers for... 
Las Vegas
O.K. pmrodier, I guess I'll be the second member in Vegas, after all, this is a very elite club :). I live on the east side, Sunrise mountain area. My systems mid-fi, but I do love squeezing the most out of it for 2 channel music and 5.1 HT.
