| Speaker suggestions at around $30k The new Magnepan 20.7 soon to be available.Spend the rest on better maps.If I had $30,000.it is what I would buy. The 20.7 Maggies and a pair of Bryston 28B-SST2 amps.Whoot!! | |
| Have $3000...what would you buy? Synthfreak: you are correct. My error.Forget what I posted, please.As for getting stuff to just sell to use up credit.. it is not too practical.Find something you can use. | |

| Movies/TV Shows Look like Video I agree the ability of current TVs to show high resolution allows people to see what resolution the incoming program is in. Some HD (especially news, sports) is stunning in clarity. While other stuff is just not.Why is another question.A lot depen... | |
| Foam inserts in CD fatboys - a warning Yes I have had this issue.The only solution is to discard the foam.. hopefully before it ruins the CD. | |
| Why do some volume controls start at -80db or..? Reality is a good reason.Since mmost environments have about 40 to 50 dB of background noise, having a realistic dB setting makes sense.((Zillions are for fantasy games.))Then the 'minus' is within the system. The ATTENUATION of the incoming signa... | |

| Dual subwoofers-need to be from same manufactures? Well, would you buy two different brands of main channel speakers? Same difference in subs. If you find the REL lacking, then buy some other sub. Otherwise i would wait until you can match them up. However if you got a great deal on a used sub, an... | |
| Will be satisfied with a Denon AVR 3805S The 8 in the 3805 is beefier power for two channel application. It is the 'audiophile line.The '5' was just before the start of HDMI, so it was the latest generation before HDMI.IF you want to also rune the video lines through it, it will be limit... |
