Chulhee,I don't fully understand your question.Are you saying you have already purchased speakers, CD player and an Integrated amp and you want to know what else you need to make sound? If so, the answer is you need to connect your CD player to th... 
Need Recommendation of PC speakers
I really enjoy things that are, uh, a little different. For different in computer speakers, look no further than the actively tube amplified TAD-102 speakers from BizzyBee Audio. They originally sold for $799, but he has some closeouts for $99/pr.... 
Best monitor under 5k?
Metralla is onto something here. If you are forced to go with a smaller speaker that will sound good at lower volume levels (be a good tenant!), you might as well go with a speaker that is efficient and has a benign impedance load. This will allow... 
IMAGE PROBLEMS VOCALS OFF CENTER
Is it possible that you are actually hearing a phase problem? Insure that your speakers are wired correctly, i.e. "red to red", "black to black" on both of your speakers. Also, it is possible that your speakers are mis-wired inside, i.e., one of t... 
High Efficiency Monitors - List
The Reference 3A MM DeCapos are 92 db eff, have excellent sounding bass down into the low 40hz region, and have a very simple crossover that makes them easy to drive.I've used mine with amps as low as about 1.5 w/ch and they were plenty loud in my... 
Loudness of TV Commercials
Ghostrider45,My guess is that the brodcasters (who depend on revenue from the commecials) have better lobbiest that the consumer groups. I'm sure the broadcast industry would do everything in their power to prevent you from being able to simply sk...

Best Outboard PreAmp With Krell HTS 7.1 Pass-Thru?
3zub,I'm a fan of tube pre-amps, but I would not necessarily suggest it for your setup. In a combo system, using bypass, the dedicated 2-channel pre-amp would be used any time the system is in use for either 2-channel music or HT. If you used your... 
How to use stand alone pre-amp with HT?
Bonger,I would suggest starting a new thread and ask the question. Also, you can search the archives. The question has been asked many times.BTW, many (if not most) new pre-amps will have an HT bypass/processor loop. I would say especially most ma...

TAD-803 2 way speaker review
Wow Azstereo! You seem to be a "one man marketing department" for e-Ticket Cables as about half of all of you post are touting that brand. And a guy comes along suggesting he is thrilled with a $129 speaker purchase and you call him a shill......W... 
Why so much music for sale?
Jond may be onto something! Have you heard of the automobile SPL competition where they just play a tone and test for max SPL inside the car? The systems aren't even designed to play music.Enjoy,TIC 
Why so much music for sale?
Music was an old "flavor or the month". Folks are ditching their old music to buy gasoline so they can listen for free on their car radios.....Enjoy,TIC 
How to use stand alone pre-amp with HT?
Jack,I'm not really familiar with any of the components you currently own, but I can tell you how to implement a system using a dedicated pre-amp integrated into your HT.You would not want to use the tape loop of the Arcam. First, acquire a pre-am... 
Good Preamp with Digital Input
Mike, By nature, a pre-amp would generally not include a digital input. Typically a pre-amp is an analog device and a digital input would indicate that you need a DAC inside the pre-amp.There are some all digital preamps that have digital inputs, ...
