| Amp for Sonus Faber Cremoma M I thank you for the responses.They are very helpful in helping select which direction to go.I am really unfamiliar with tubes.Can they be incorporated with solid state when running 5.1 for sacd's, concert dvd's and movies? | |

| Focal CC1008Be vs Utopia Center with 1038Be fronts Great speakers. I loved them however I decided on the Sonus Faber Cremona M. I saved about 3k, I could justify the additional cost.Are you happy with your purchase?Good Luck | |
| best bang for buck on used ht speakers? maybe b&w? I just sold B & W Matrix 803's. I had the same Pioneer receiver and then used it a the pre - pro and upgraded to an Emotiva XPA-5. The B & W's performed very well for me for about 20 years. I sold them for $800 and I feel the buyer purchas... | |
| New Pre - Pro Sherbourne pt-7020c4 Thanks for the detailed response.I am also looking for high level 2 channel performance. Do you think the PT-7020c4 would offer that? I am currently using a Pioneer VSX 92 receiver as my pre-pro and I feel the 2 channel suffers. That is one of the... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M I have nothing against The Paradigm. I have not purchased speakers in 20 years and was open to whatever I thought sounded best. The Cremona and New S8 were both hooked up to Byson amps however they were in different rooms. The Cremano's were my ch... | |
| Paradigm S8 vs. Sonus Faber Cremona M I demo'd the S8's and Cremona's right next to each other in the same store. The rep kept pushing me to the S8's however the Cremona's in my and my wife's opinion clearly sounded superior. After going back and forth the rep also agreed. They simply... | |

| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range Jeffkad,Yes it was the new 802D. The 802 went a little deeper however the bass in the focal was tighter. The mids and highs we thought the focal was cleaner, crisper.They are both great speakers however to our ears the focal simply sounded better.... | |
| Focal 1038 be VS B&W 802D : mid-range I recently auditioned both speakers specifically against each other. The Focal 1038 be was $12500 and the 802D $15000. The Focal to my and my friends ear was the superior speaker. I really could not believe it so I went back another day and listen... | |

| Hissing sound coming from tweeters It could be your system is not grounded properly. Our cable company, comcast was doing work and and did not properly ground the system. I was having hissing through the tweeters also. To pinpoint I disconnected the cable into the preamp and the hi... |
