Audiophile Quality 5 Channel Amp?
What do you consider audiophile performance? Features? The key you pointed out is the price. Sure you could go out and listen to Sim Audio, BAT, Theta Krell and the like, but none of these you'll find for $3,000 or less used. If you did they would... 
NHT 2.9 or B&W CDM9NT
I can only provide you this opinion. I currrently own the NHT 2.9's and for what they can be had now a days it's a no brainer $1300-1500 new. Now many out there, which I somewhat agree, state that the Aluminum tweeter can tend to be a bit bright. ... 
Help needed to make processor decision.

Tube preamp With 2 single ended outputs.

Sounds good but to laid back
I think "I" spend to much time on Audiogon, but here I am responding to your email on a Sunday after watching the 49er's walk over the Saints. Anyhow I currently use the EAD TM Signature with two NHT SA3 sub amps and a EAD PM500(nice amp) soon to ... 
CITATION 7.1 vs. EAD 500

Radiohead read on
I have been a fan of Radiohead since Pablo Honey came out . The song “Creep” brought me to them and have enjoyed their music from that time. I felt OK computer was their best work and just did not get into their later after the first listen. Even ...

Adding Tub Preamp to HT setup
FYI,My friend uses the balance inputs of his Theta Casablanca from his Classe 401 for hometheater and RCA output on the Classe to his Blue circle pre-amp. The results are very good. Just a flick of the switch on his amp from balanced to RCA and he... 
Martin Logan's Prodigy
I don’t know if I qualify all that well to comment on such a topic, but here goes.First off I do not own the Prodigy’s, but a close friend of mine has had a pair for about 4 months. I have been fortunate enough to be able to listen to them for hou...
