Possible to use Denon 2802 with Paradigm Studio60?
ditto!I wouldn't bother with the HCA1500 until you upgrade your speakers to Paradigm 100s or higher quality speakers.You might not get every ounce or resolution possible out of your speakers, but you'll be getting more bang for your buck from spen... 
What to add to my system for best sound?
Rsbeck, I agree with the need for balance that you and others speak of.The argument that I am trying to pose (based on my 2 system experience) is that it takes a high quality speaker to hear the differences between amp/pre/cdp. And that I dont thi...

What Equipment Remains In Your System Long Term?
I recently added an Acoustic Research 202 to my system.Purists will hate it because it interferes with the EQ'ing similar to a loudness button, but I have found (as have several reviews, including Stereophile's) that it is a welcome bonus to any s...

Upgrading from Tyler Ref Monitors

Any interest in a Home Theater PC Specification?
I see that PC's used for HT are becoming more and more popular.Looks like your rolling DVD player/decoder, audio preamp/processor all into one unit.Is the quality a PC puts out better? or is it just cheaper?What gives? I'm wondering why people are... 
Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??
Gmood1, I agree with what you said, I just raised the number a bit to make the point a bit that 1800 is just entering the good zone. Also I think most speakers that are great in the 3-5k range need a sub for the bottom octaves (all my opinion of c... 
Does anybody know what's wrong with Tyler's bass?
The blame here shouldn't fall to the shoulders of the Tyler acoustic monitors, but to the category of monitors in general.Your gonna need a sub with most speakers unless they boast dual 12's or 15's (assuming you care about music under 35hz)What y... 
Can I get "Great" used speakers for $1800??
if great is possible at 1800$ then why would anyone spend any more than that?its my opinion that 1500$ in used speakers is just entering midfi territory, which goes up to probably around the 10k range. Midfi sounds pleasant...but its not gonna giv...
