Are there any speakers out there that sound as good (same sonic qualities)as the B&W Nautilus 805's for Around $1000??

I can get hold of a pair of CDM7's (NOT 7NT's) for $800. Is this a good deal, and is there a major difference in audio quality that would make me pay twice as much for the 7NT's? Thanks

Can the tweeters in the CDM7 be upgraded to the Nautilus?

I am looking to purchase a used pair of B&W CDM7 speakers, but am wondering if there is a big difference between the 7,7SE and 7NT models. Can someone please explain? Thanks

I have a local HI-End shop by me that carries Arcam, and swears by them. I have heard the AVR200 receiver in the store and it absolutely sounds great with music, but I haven't had a chance to hear it with Home Theatre. I was speaking with the owner of the shop and He said that paired with a nice...

Hey Bob_L, Thanks for the reply. I kinda figured that there wouldn't be much to know. Glad you like the 950. I actually just got mine about 1 hour ago. It's horrible because I don't have the amp yet. I'm getting the shakes!!!!! The only thing about the Outlaw so far that I have noticed...

Thanks so far to everyone that has replied. I feel pretty comfortable purchasing this amp. I will be mating it with a new Outlaw 950 that should be arriving tomorrow. I have to say though, that it is seems to be a large amp, not tall, but wide and deep. I measured my rack, and found that it...

Does anyone here have any opinions as to the quality of the Carver AV-705x ampplifier, and is $560 a reasonable price to pay? Also, how does it compare to the Acurus 125x5 and the Rotel 985THX? Thanks, Scott

Thanks Mike for the helpful feedback.

Opinions?? Would you consider $350 a good price on a 985THX???

Just as in the subject heading, What are the differences between the Rotel RB-985THX and RB-985MKII amps? Power, model year, sound quality, build quality??? Thanks, Scott

Bob-N How is the quality of the MKII if pushed above reference levels? I have seen some of these come up for sale recently. I know it is an older amp, but I am wondering how it the 985MKII with 110x5 compares to some of the newer amps with 125x5.

I am looking for an amp to pair up with an Outlaw 950. I have been looking at the Parasound 855 and a used Rotel 985 THX. I am trying to stay under $1500 for the whole setup (950 and amp). Will the Parasound and Rotel provide enough power for a room 22x13x8??, or will I need more power? I...

I have decided to go with seperates over a standalone receiver. I initially decided to go with the Rotel 1065, but for the price, I think I would be better off with seperates. My question is, if I go with a the Outlaw 950 or Rotel 1066, what would be a good amp to match up for 70% HT and 30%...
