LanceJ is right on the money. Well explained Lance. i will add that with ruler flat loudspeakers, amp selection is crucial ( and pre-amp /CD player...)

BarryL; You have too much money for your electronic needs right now, so send me half of it for my electronics needs! Just kidding! Thank MikeTz for his well researched list, to which I'll add some more. For the pre-pro's, since B&W bought Classe, add the SSP-30MK-2 and the SSP-60 (Mike...

Sure, the BRYSTON is a quality piece. Make sure you listen to the ST version. In the price range you are looking there are dozens of amps to listen to. What are you implying by too old? Old stuff will deliver the goods, just ask my wife! here's a review of the Energy C-9...

Two different sounds. One has the "smooth-er" MOSFET signature sound (B&K) the other a bolder Bi-Polar punch. Unless you can audition them for yourself, only you know your system, room acoustics and personal sonic preferences. Anything anyone posts here, including myself is just our biases...

Trilo: Here's the answer to your question: http://www.hifichoice.co.uk/review_print.asp?ID=2646

Brad: YAMAHA has always advocated monopoles for their DSP effects. At the same time I can tell you I've heard lots of Yamahas hooked to either bi-poles or di-poles. Room, listenning bias will determine which you like best (like with any other A/V receiver). The reason is that Yamaha put a...

Rory: Stop joking! A Bose 901 driver can't cost $5.00, it's impossible!!! Bose won't pay more than $3.00 for a driver, period!:D

The Krell MRS is actually a steal at $28,000 when you consider you get 5 Bose Acoustimass cubes included in the price. :D

meant to write "...new perspective on life..."

Yogi; The guy was humbled by his first degree burns. His new perspective in life led him to a charitable accomodation for you. Nice guy!:D

KevinT: Bose/Krell is a bad match. Last time a salesman offered me a $14,000 Krell 700cx with Acoustimass speakers I SET THE GUY ON FIRE! :D :D :D

Alfredo: No te compliques la vida, comprate los Rotel y luego experimenta con ellos. Saludos, JaimeB

Basheer: I can just imagine the sound with the HTR! Have you tried the Integra line from Onkyo, it may work well with your Aperions. Try Marantz too, most of their models roll the highs ever so slightly, and some of their models roll their power outputs embarassingly, so watch out! Try...

Kevin; did you say 8' x 6' section? Are you sure, if so what you need for that sized room can be found at Costco or Sams. For $200 you can get five tiny speakers with a powered subwoofer included. You can upgrade to (also tiny) cubes and a passive woofer by Bose... Ok, ok , I'm just...

Dave: Congrats on your new house! The pictures on your site are kind of confusing, the angles you took don't show the entire room. Is the picture showing the tv set to the left hand side of the couch? If so you will never get any kind of decent front effect sound! Besides, watching tv with...
