Classe or Bryston?

Us agressors need to stick together on here. There's far too much politeness going around! I don't have an HT setup, but Krell makes better amps than anybody outside the US, except maybe Burmester. DEFINITELY BETTER THAN ANY COMPANY FROM CANADA!!!

And I don't have an HT setup either. Glad to hear that you know how to set up your system. I agree, most 'philes out there don't have anything close to a "correct" setup.

I agree with Ramstl. I love Stereophile, but to have blind faith in their reccomendations is a pathetic practice indeed. I don't like Southpark, it's annoying. I like Seinfeld, The Simpsons, and Futurama in that order. My favorite comedy is "There's Something About Mary". "American Pie" was pretty good too. I loved "Caddyshack", but after the 100th viewing, it gets kind of trite. And, I could use a woman myself, but audio is my bitch right now. It's worth the tradeoff, for a while...

Emmett, I agree totally about DVD-Audio. I apologize for being irrelevant (that needs to go on my headstone when I die, heh heh). I've not heard the amp speaker combo you ask about, and hope you can try the amp in your home before you decide. Using ASC Frecoes to damp side, back, and front wall "first" reflections will make more difference than comparing two power amps, especially if they have somewhat similar sonic charactersitics. ASC 16 inch full rounds in the corners behind the front speakers will make the bass in the room unbelievably tighter, smoother, and higher rez. Not that you or anybody ever wants to follow my suggestions...Good luck anyway...

Glad you have ASC's. They're essential.
