Aragon Amps any good for Planars?
My dealer has Maggie run by an Aragon 8002 with an Audio Research pre and is sounds great to me. The Maggies that they are using do not have a lot of bass. Man the dealer here is using an Aragon 8008 to drive B&W Natilus 801 in his main room h...

Best beer is here in New Orleans at the Crescent City Brewhouse. German brewmiester who make fresh beer constantly. Great food and a live Jazz band. Free admission. And once you get tanked up you can walk a few blocks to Bourbon Steet and maybe ge... 
psb vs, klipsch.
You are asking for opinions so I will give you mine. I would recommend that you listen for yourself as taste in speakers vary greatly. My personal preference is for the PSB speakers. I think they are a steal for what they offer in performance. Kli... 
Problems with U.P.S.
Reading review of new Infinity speaker in May 2000 Stereophile. Reviewer says."FEDEX drop-kicked the speaker" completetly dastroying the low bass driver. Read review. 
Advice on Seperates?
I had a Harmon Kardon AVR 30 and sold it on this site and purchased a pre-owned Proceed AVP also on this site. It will be a big improvement over the HK or any av reciever. It has all of the channels need for 7.1 playback but at present does not of... 
How Cool Is My Wife!
Great and good luck as you have a bright future with her! I love post like this because I show them to my girlfriend who is sort of just opening up to hifi. She does not want to be one of the wives about which the fellows are complaining. When I t... 
Best A/V Receiver up to $1200.00?
I prefer Harmon Kardon for one reason, it will drive 4 ohm speakers. You will not be limited in your selection of speakers. Denon will not for sure and I suspect the Nakamici will not either. 
Sunfire amp and speaker terminations
Use locking bananna plugs instaad of the regular kind because they expand and provide a better connection. Try Lat international. They are about 10.00 a pair but worth the extra money and I feel a lot better than the Radio Shack ones. latinternati... 
Best Home Theater Seperates below $4K
Although I do not own Parasound gear but rather some Proceed and Aragon gear, a friend of mine does. I would strongly suggest you audition Parasound in your price range. Until recently I was unfamiliar with the brand but am certain that this brand... 
Power Conditioner Confusion-Help!!
I have a Proceed Avp and some Aragon amplifiers. I am using a brickwall power conditioner and have noticed an improvement on video but can not detect on on audio. My dealer has an Avp connected to a Richard Grey power conditioner. I had him connec... 
Bryston 3B ST with an AV Receiver?
You could start with an AV reciever and then add the amp if it has pre-amp outputs. I used a Harmon Kardon AV Rec. for a while to drive an Aragon amp. But when I purchased a Pre-amp the sound improved drastically. Most mass-market recievers will c... 
PSB Stratus Goldi vs. Vandersteen 3A sig
Both are great speakers and I do not think you will be unhappy with either. My local dealer sells both and I purchased the PSB because I too listen mainly to Jazz and Classical and Paul Barton if I am not mistaken is a classical musician and it is... 
Classe SSP-25 vs. Proceed AVP
I think Classe makes fine productss but prefer the Proceed. They are dealers everywhere and warranty is transferable. This is a big deal to me. I bought a year old AVP on this site for less than 3000.00 and contacted Madrigal and they said,"Sure t... 
Who makes good dipole surround?
I recently heard the M&K tripole surround speaker which retail for 1250. They are the S-150 or something like that. It was the best surround speaker I have heard by far. They were the rear channel of a system which was controlled by a Lexicon ...
