There you go everything is relative, I thought $750 a day was a lot of money, but obviously in the Great White North it is a deal.:D

Okay Moon, I will byte:D I just ordered 3 sets at $250 each from Music Direct and I will give them a good test. Got the silver reference series because....well.....not sure why yet.:D But I gotta say, if they don't deliver the goods I will be sending them back and making sure that the rent...

Gotta agree with TonePub, Gordon and even Beranrd. And if you read these posts closely you will see some very good advice on system upgrades and not all of them cost you money.......Okay most of them do, but if you do things incrementally as has been suggested, each step in the upgrade path can...

I am betting on the credit, I love shopping with credit.:D Seriously, congratulations and I am also betting that after Gary gets them set up and starts listening, we will never hear from him again, at least until his family misses him and goes looking for him.:)

Bernard, I was going to make a comment about how daft we all must be to spend what we spend, when we spend what we spend, but then Jeff comes up with something that sounds totally reasonable and normal.....go figure.

I had a Logos Center channel speaker in my HT for 10 years. It sounds great but I had it hooked up to an Adcom 5305 which I believe had about 150 watts in to 8ohms and then for the last couple of years I used a Sunfire 7400 7 channel power amp with 400 watts in to 8ohms. Never had an issue...

Gary, I know Upgrade-itis all too well, I have been afflicted now for several years, god I hope the credit cards don't give out, or Upgrade-itis will be the death of me.:D Anyways, the CLX have nice bass staight out of the box, in fact many like them just like that with no subwoofer. They are...

Hocky, I appreciate your concern for my 3D addiction, but I think I am going to be okay, okay, okay. I wouldn't be so sure about the demise of 3D. 3D gaming, 3D movies, 3D TV programming and most importantly consumer 3D photography and video will have a significant impact on driving the market...

Ron, I hear what you are saying. I have been involved with software development for the last 30 plus years. I have done it always from a users perspective and so I am a bit more critical of software than most. One of my developers recommended the Harmony for my main system, he loves it but he...

Gary, I think your granite comment referred to my CLX bass tweak. I had Summits before the CLXs and the Summits benefited from isolated weight placed on the top of the bass enclosure. The point of my CLX bass tweak was that the CLX improves bass with isolated weight. In fact, I think if you...

Ron, Now why did you have to go and point that out. Some guys wives read these things you know. And if one of the guys that posts on here were using 3-D 1.4a as an excuse to get a new toy......well that dual HDMI thingy kind of ruins it. Not that I would ever do that.:D Actually, I did get a...

I should have mentioned what DrJRapp did so eloquently. The Integra/Onkyo is currently the price value and feature leader. And I would add that you can always start out with a Integra/Onkyo AV receiver and then buy a separate power amp and use the Integra/Onkyo as a Pre, but it is key that you...

The door looks perfectly good, not a scratch on it. The rest of that should buff out:D

Okay Adanny, you asked.:D I have 3 completely separate AV systems with Martin Logans all around, all the time. I have an Integra DHC 80.1 in the main theater. This is a 7.2 ML system with Stylos(4), Stage, Fresco i (2), with Descent i and SVS PB Ultra doing the heavy lifting. The Amp is a...

Dan, You asked the magic question. Yes there are always alternatives, the real question then is at what cost. The modified OPPO will prbably outperform any other player when cost is taken into consideration. There are other universal players out there now, but to get noticeably better...

Dean, I am not an engineer so I will defer to someone who knows the exact details and jargon, but my research has showed that low voltage is almost always followed by a power surge. It is the surge that causes the damage. For the most part starving the equipment for power is much the same as...

Jeremy, is a hoot, but I think he likes it. http://www.streetfire.net/video/top-gear-season-15-episode-6_2044582.htm Actually, I said some of the same words when I drove the 458, but I said them first.:D

I not only read Jeff's reviews, I actually put them to the test. I ran Running Springs Audio (RSA) Dmitri against a PS Audio Power Plant Premier(PPP) with a high current amp, a Simaudio Moon Titan. Side by Side there was a noticeable difference in dynamics. The RSA had no compression, the PPP...

You know I detected an English or Aussie accent from Richard, Rich do you know if he is either?

Exactly, that is why I recommend that anyone that goes to see him, get close so you can watch his hands and fingers, without that you might miss what you are really hearing.:D
