Where's the bass?
Find yourself some used NHT 3.3's. They will give you all of the audiophile stuff while still giving you the bass you want. The sunfire will drive them fine. 
Wilson Alexandria V2
With all due respect to the owners of any of these speakers...do you really find it reasonable at this price point to be limited in ultimate output capability? I understand that Wilson puts a tremendous amount of $ and R&D into the cabinets, b... 
Klipsch RF62 vs Def Tech BP7004?
Definitive makes great speakers if you just want to have fun and not take yourself or the hobby too seriously. I just bought a pair of BP7000SC's to use in a *gasp* 2 channel system. I haven't even gotten a chance to hook them up yet but I expect ... 
The Economy.. will hi end audio mfgs lower prices?
Pinkus, I hear ya. But HAR was mauled as if it were a financial. Down 80% YOY. If you plot it against something like BBY you can really see it. Net/net is that folks just aren't going to have the discretionary dollars they have had in the past...

Out of interest, I watch Harman stock (HAR). They have a presence in both the high end and "mass market" sectors through their many brands. Tell you what, that stock has not been treated nicely....

How about a used Levinson 383? It's a nice unit. 
Best HT Receiver Under 1000$
See if you can find a used Denon 4806 around that $1K mark. I have one and it's great. It has a true 1.2KVA toroidal transformer instead of the garbage in most of these receivers. 
Aragon 8008BB vs Threshold T200. What to choose??
I've owned some relatively expensive amps and in retrospect, have realized that the 8008BB is all the amp most folks need. It's that good IMHO. While I understand where Jaybo is coming from as far as depreciation, I think either one has already ta...

Aragon 8008 - I heard someone say once that you could hook it up to your curtains and get sound..... 
The best $1500-2500 amp to run with Aerial LR5's
I could be wrong but I believe that the 9 and LR5 use different drivers - they are larger in the LR5.

What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Raquel, thanks. I've been tossing around the idea of picking up one of these 2 for some time. I don't have the room right now, but one of these days.... 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
Question for Raquel. I know you owned both Salons and Mahlers. Would you say that the Mahlers were more dynamic and/or played louder than the Salons? Thanks. 
All about the bass
You can save a lot and find a well cared for pair of NHT 3.3's. They don't get mentioned much around here anymore because they're "old news", but they fit the bill in this application. 
Von Schweikert VR4-Mklll Vs Def Tech 7000SC
I think very few people here (including me) have heard the BP7000's set-up in a high quality 2 channel system. Because of that I really doubt you'll get any sort of objective answer.
