cd player upgrade
Why CD? Seams limited in todays options. 
Speaker cable advise for spectron/ gallo 3.1
Canare cable with nuetrik connectors.If its good enough for the worlds best studios, it certainly should do the trick.I love the combo of thoe products! Why waste money on over priced jackets? Just my opinion. 
Is the ''entry level'' DAC becoming extinct ?
DAC's are amazing even on low priced gear these days. Just my opinion, but I see no need to look at expensive dacs anymoe(thousands of dollars), and usb is a must IMO 
Replacement for Maggie's?
I would look into some Legacy Focus HD's used! For around or under your $5k price point. Ive seen them as low as 4k. I sold my Focus 20/20's for $2500 3 years ago, and never enjoyed a speaker more. The newer models are more extended and have "bett... 
Gone are the days of the great audition.
As long as Magnepan, Klipsch, Vandersteen, Paradigm, Legacy Audio, and some others Ive owned are still in production, I am confident I can always find a great speaker at a price level to meet the demand. Most the ones I'd like to hear now are Onli... 
CD vs FLAC
Flac and wav files are all I do now. Sounds awesome to me. Cd's are only good for ripping to flac/wav IMO 
Best way to hook up a subwoofer
Place the sub in a front center channel floor position if running a single sub IMO.(between the stereo mains) 
Question for Paradigm Studio 100 owners ...
If you have to pull out a speaker 6ft from the wall to smooth out the bass, you bought the wrong speakers for your room IMO.I have owned the 100 V2's. They are a bit lean in bass IMO. If polarity is correct, and you played with placement, maybe tr... 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
MitchIf you have the room, one of the best deals out there is Klipsch KLF speakers. The 20's &30's are insane for under $700-800 IMO. You should buy Crites titanium tweeter diaphrams for $58 shipped per pair with them, as stock used a terrible... 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
Bose 301 iv's is a great way to make a budget HT system. They play loud, are spacios, and even musical IMO. For a bit more, Klipsch can be a killer "budget" HT setup. I would use the Bose 301 IV im medium sized rooms for best results. Can get them... 
Paradigm studio 20 vs 60? Help please
Everyone hears speakers differently. Personally, I would rather have the 20's with 2qty small subs(dual) then the 60's or 100's for the money. I would also consider a all 20 V5 home theater down the road. Put the center and rears on the wall, and ... 
The most dynamic speaker you've heard...
Horns.... 
The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.
I found the gallo 3.1's to be overrated for $3k. Other speakers I was use to in that range destroyed them. They werent the worst I ever heard, but it really shows how reviews by websites don't matter. Back in 2006, a lot of people where posting th... 
Magnepan 1.7 owners and subwoofers
BTW- center placement was used on some Magnepan 1.6's and sounded awesome. I used a SVS 12/2 Ultra forward facing config. 
Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012
Just buy a pair of Magnepan and you will see why so many accept their size.
