sandra, i can understand your reluctance to jump in to the digital world, wanting to wait for the format wars to settle out. but, you may end up tuneless for a lot of years! ;~)meanwhile i suggest you pick up an art di/o dac for ~$122 from fullcom...

subwoofer comparision
ctyler, for h-t, you can get away w/a sub that has a lot higher distortion levels, and one that may not go as low in frequency, but is boosted in level at, say, 50-100hz. these traits will not be conducive to the best performance in an audio syste...

i tried a rel stratus in a big room - one-note-thump. my brother-in-law tried it in a small room (he'd actually purchased it) w/a pair of proac response 1.5's. the soundstage collapsed, & the details were hidden. he sold it after a week after ... 
the rogue audio 99 vs the audible illusions
sorry, no ai info here, but i found the cary slp-98 to be more neutral, more dynamic, & w/better bass extension than a magnum-version of the rogue 99, in my system. (if you're interested in my systems' specifics, see it on audio asylum). but, ... 
VMPS line of speakers
audionet, while i agree that the vmps' don't have the outstanding finish of a proac, piega, or sonus faber, i've seen 'em, even their older pre-ribbon models, & i think *utilitarian* comes to mind - definitely not someting banged out in a base...

Any audio gifts for Christmas?
hi sean,yup, the p-car is lotsa fun. my car-buying habits compare a *lot* to my stereo-buying habits - champagne taste, beer budget! :>) the pantera is the only mid-engined italian exotic i'll likely ever be able to afford. that pedestrian clev...
