Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?
I hope that everyone read the link provided by Onhwy61 in his post on 11/22. I didn't know that recording engineers customarily put microphones inside the piano. As someone who has played a musical instrument I generally like close mic recordings,...

Ritteri...Not sarcastic my friend. I guess it is even difficult to agree with you. 
Comments of recommendations on Xmas music
Joan Baez, "Noel" is a classic. Also, recordings of the Service of Lessons and Carols from Kings College, Cambridge. 
Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?
Ritteri...I'm glad that you endorse boosting 20-80 Hz by several dB, because that is what I usually do after geting the system flat. But I always felt guilty about it...like eating too much ice cream. I also use the tweeter padding resistors with ... 
Which are the top DVD-A players?
I believe there is less variation in DVD-A players than SACD players. Perhaps this is because the DVD-A technology is just an extension of the mature CD PCM technology: 24 bits instead of 16 and 96KHz instead of 44.1KHz. There are more new lessons...

Recomendation for speakers BEST for Piano?
Khrys...You are quite correct about there being little in the way of music below about 50 Hz. With the exception of organ pipes and bass drums there is only turntable rumble and studio air conditioning sounds down there. If you operate a subwoofer... 
What causes clipping?
If both SW are doing the same thing the problem might be the signal they are getting from your receiver. 
Best cartridge under $450? No Grados please
Shure V15 is one of the best with a long track record. Objective specs (such as tracking ability) are the best. Subjective evaluations (how it sounds) are just that, and you should make those judgements with your own ears. The price is right.I hav... 
Help with Denon 2900/5900 or MarantzDV8400 or ?
Matt54321...A side-by-side comparison of the Denon with other players is not something I was able to do. Of course I have heard various players at audio dealers, but this does not really give a good comparison because the associated equipment and ...
