    entery level upgrade..

    you might have a good point i was looking at some B&W DM602.5 S3's and they were rocking really well. because most of my usage is music and then about 25% DVD i might look to speakers first as the majority seem to agree. But i do have a small problem with my current reciver. It seems as...
