I currently have a Marantz SR5400 and just picked up some Monitor Audio S2's at a great price. They sound great, but the Marantz has a much harder time pushing them that the previous speakers I had. Any suggestions? Should I sell in an pick up something like a NAD receiver for a few hundred...

Hey everyone I have pretty much narrowed my choice for a new 5.1 down to the Monitor Audio silver series. My question is does anyone know of the difference between the new RS series and the older S series. I can pretty much get the older larger S2 for the same price as the RS1. Thanks for...

I am looking for a 5 disc player, and I'm looking on the very cheap side. I have looked at the panasonic f87 and the sony dvpnc875. I just got confirmation from Sony the the DVPNC875 does NOT have multi disc shuffle, which to me, kind of defeats the purpose of a 5 disc player. Has anyone heard...

what are you using for your center speakers, The main speakers I am using I really enjoy, but the center has really underwhelmed me. Sometimes it really sounds like a tin can. Ok not that bad, but it just hasnt done it for me. And I have tried different placements, etc. I dont want to say what...
