A room 50'x 25' with cement walls is going to present you a real challenge to fill for $1K. I don't mean to sound discouraging but that's a large room, no question. Yes, a large subwoofer is going to be needed for sure. But they alone for this siz... 
Digital vs Analog output on CD players
Thanks very much. Appreciate the education on this. It's always so much better to hear this from fellow hobbyists who speak in layman's terms. I'll continue to experiment and compare the sound. One thing I noticed was that on some CD-R's, the NAD ... 
Retail Music Stores Gone
Browsing a CD store and especially those that offer preowned CD's is one of my favorite pastimes. Besides the chains (Borders, B&N, etc), the privately owned ones are out there. You just have to seek them out. Here in the NJ/PA area, there are... 
LCD Flat screen tv's
Thanks Mig007. This is a great forum if we all use it primarily as educational to help each other out with our own experiences and knowledge. I've learned a great deal already from the folks on this forum. In this example of LCD flat screen TV's, ...

Thanks everyone. These are some excellent suggestions and input. Just what I was looking for all except from Btstrg whose reply was entirely useless and uncecessary. This forum doesn't need members like this. If you have nothing constructive to ad... 
size and brand subs?
Velodyne specializes in manufacturing powered sub-woofers. Excellent name in the business. However my hi-fi specialty store has been having some bad luck with a few of their models. They like the B&W line of powered subs. For that size room, y... 
Best budget 5.1 surround receiver and speakers?
Marantz A-V receivers for the money are one of the best buys out there. To me they're superior to their Denon counterparts, also superior to Yamaha, Onkyo, etc. Marantz is not sold is mass market stores. That should tell you something. The SR4001 ... 
WAF - Wife Acceptance Factor
I just literally walked in the door with a brand new pair of B&W DM603 S3's in Sorrento within the last 2 hours of this writing. I am now playing her favorite CD by David Benoit (Here's to you Charlie Brown). Actually it sounds tremendous. She... 
Break in period
Artizen65:Excellent input. Makes much sense. You're so right about our moods. I've been thinking about that too. Also night time when you have more melatonin present in the brain relaxes you more and music can sound greater. Lots of variables. Tha...
