I recently bought the Wal-Mart version called DuraBrand. Either way, they are both made by Alco Electronics. It seems like a good system. It also plays mp3 and jpeg files. Another nice feature is the a/v input with ability to watch 2 different things at once. You could also watch a movie and...
Brian,
Are you looking new or used ? THe B&K AVR202 has 5 optical and can be had for under $1K. I have this receiver and it sounds fantastic. This would easily drive your speakers. I will be moving soon and may be selling mine. If you are interested, drop me a email. Here is the B&K website...
I was looking to upgrade the sound of my CD player (old Sony 5 disc changer) and was wondering how many people use DAC's. I was thinking of buying a new CD player such as Tjoeb 4000, Arcam CD72 or Cambridge D500SE. The other option was to buy a DAC and connect it to the optical out on the old...
Wally,
Looks good in pictures and on paper. You might want to check out the forums on the Klipsch website to gather some opinions/info there.

Ryan,
I have the same speakers you do and I use an Aragon 4004 mk II. I know it is only two channel, but it really sounds great. I use a B&K AVR202 to power the rest. Not knowing your budget, you could try an Aragon 8008x3, Acurus A200x3 or the amps that you mentioned. Check the used...
Terk makes a great RF remote extender that will allow you to use anywhere within 100+ ft of the base unit. They just started to make these again and I'm not sure if they have updated their website. I have had one for over 5 years and love it. I believe Sound and Vision had it featured in...
John,
There is a gentleman that posted quite frequently over at Audiogon. His name is John Fairchild and I believe he is a authorized Mondial/Acurus/Aragon dealer. He might be able to help you out. You can email him at [email protected] . Good Luck !!

Hello everyone,
I am looking into making my own interconnects and speaker wires and was looking for some good website to research and buy supplies. I have already been using Parts Connection and Homegrown Audio's website. I am interested in being able to buy name brand wire such as Kimber and...
Oswald,
The Oct. issue of Sound and Vision features the Terk (www.terk.com) "Remote Anywhere" in the new products section. I have the older version they used to make called the "leapfrog" that I think would fit your needs nicely. The system is basically two pieces: 1) a transmitter that...
Kyle,
What is your budget and are looking specifically for a five channel amp ? You might want to consider the used market as well. This might allow to purchase an amp that may have been out of your price range.
Good Luck,
Rob
Hi,
I'm thinking of adding a 2 or 3 channel amp to drive my Energy Connoisseur C 6's. I'm looking to go the used market and was thinking Aragon 4004 mkII, Acurus A200 or A200x3, B&K EX4420 and Parasound HCA1500A. Looking for a few thoughts and my search isn't limited to those models. I'm...
