Brian, "The Mirages sounded ok, but they lacked clarity and the sound seemed to be garbled to my ears. If I closed my eyes, I could imagine the sound coming from two distinct speakers, with a lack of a clear stereo central image." EXACTLY ! That's one of the things I've noticed. I play and...

Brian, Is your preference for the JBL's just in general or would you be able to put into words what it is that you liked better with the JBL's?

Thanks Larry. Well, I'm new to the audio upgrade thing. I've recently purchased a Harmon Kardon 3370 amplifier/receiver and the AMC cd8b dedicated CD player, both moderately priced but very well respected units. I'm doubting the problem would be with either one of those, so that's why I'm...

Anyone heard both that could compare and contrast? I have the Mirage's now and I'm just not satisfied with them. This is strictly for stereo Redbook playback and i listen to mostly hard to heavy rock. When I stray from that, I listen to things like Steely Dan.

Thanks Keith. I've done just that and not only was there a lot of info, but I was the one that started the thread in the first place. Jeeeeeez, this gettin' old and senile business is for the birds. What I've garnered from that other long post is that I should try to find a 333ES somewhere...

At this point, I'm only interested in stereo CD listening. Please make some suggestions for great sounding dedicated CD players in the $200-$500 range. Also, please give your opinion on what percentage of improvement you think I will notice over the old inexpensive Sony CDP 397 that I'm using...

Speaking strictly music here, which sounds the best and which one is most likely to have the most offerings in the future? Is it possible that they will both die off soon? I'm wondering because I'm about to buy a new CD player. Ok, I'm editing this to also throw DVD-A into the mix. Which...

Thanks everyone.:)

Ok, and what determines this, the sub or the receiver?

Man this place is great ! Thanks everyone for all the info. If my next CD player is as much of a sonic improvement as my new H/K 3370, Mirage frx-7's, and the rope I'm now using for cables is, then your gonna be seeing some mighty huge grins on this guys face.:D

Thank you Richard. "If you have the sub crossed over at 80Hz or lower." Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly does this mean and how would I know if it's the case?

John, Checked out the link AND the price.........OUCH!!!! So, in order to hear the benifits of "super audio" CD players, does one need to listen to specially coded "super audio" CD's? Or do they also improve the sound of regular CD's. Any super audio players in the $500. range?

Thanks John. What's an SACD player? Everyone else, keep those opinions a comin'.

I'm only into stereo CD's at this point. I have a H/K 3370 stereo receiver and Mirage Frx-7 speakers. The speakers are great and actually have decent bass. But I'm gettin' real curious about the sub woofer experience. How bout some suggestions in the $500. and under price range. Also...

Sorry 'bout the typo in the title. I didn't notice it until it was too late. I'm new to the improved audio game. I'm not into H/T yet but I just bought a H/K 3370 receiver and have it married to my new Mirage frx-7's. I only have a single disc, Sony CDP-197 CD player. How much of an...

Holy Mackeral Andy ! This place is hoppin' ! I post a thread, come back after 8 hours of work and I'm already three pages behind. Hey, you guys are great ! Thanks very much to everyone that responded ! Andrew Pratt.........LOL ! Hey, as a matter of fact I DID just buy a new Corolla and I...

Ok folks, sorry for the long winded post but this is my first one and I feel a little background is needed for you to understand where I'm coming from. I've had the same stereo system for many years. Technics SA-202 receiver,(30 watts RMS per channel with 0.04% THD) and Technics SB-L32...
