Subwoofer amps
If you can get your hands on a Revel B15 for say around $1200.00, it is a sub that is well worth the price. I picked up one about two months ago and truly could not be happier(unless I had two B15's) with it. It literally can blend seamlessly with... 
AV Receiver that deals with 6ohm speakers
While the guys at Crutchfield may be well informed, I find it hard to believe that your NAD can't handle a 6ohm load. Try it out at medium to higher volumes and monitor it. If the protection circuitry doesn't engage and the receiver does not get t... 
Pick up only? where?
The old Audiogon had it so when you clicked on the zip code, it displayed where the item is located.Bill 
Can You See The Pancake Makeup In Your Blu-Rays?
If you want similar build quality to the Marantz, same if not better video quality(BD and DVD), equal or better sound quality(analog or digital), but with faster loading times and around half the cost of your 8002, the Oppo 95 is the only way to g...

Revel B15 LFO Low Frequency Optimizer Software?
Anyone have this sub and can offer alternative if the file does not exist for download anymore?Bill 
NAD T973 Good amp or any experience?
For $500.00 "new" in box, absolutely. It is an excellant "budget" multichannel amp that should mate pretty well with your B&W's. If after buying you realize it is not the amp you thought it was, you should easily get your $500.00 back when you... 
Blu ray upgrade?
"IMO HD audio is a huge upgrade even on cheaper systems."I totally agree. Lossless formats DTS-MA and Dolby TrueHD are far superior to their lossy counterparts DTS and Dolby Digital, even with 5.1 analog. More detail, more "hidden" information in ... 
First foray into separate 2-channel amp, 200wpc
I would opt for the Acurus A250. I am loving mine more and more each day. I never knew my Klipsch RF-63's had as much low end punch as they do with the Acurus. Very fast and controlled bass with detailed highs. A lot of amp for little $$$.If you w... 
MOSFET's vs Bipolar's
I own mosfet amps(B&K)and bipolar amps(Acurus). Both have their strengths and are both very enjoyable to me. Mosfets tend to be a bit warmer with an emphesis on the midrange while bipolars are usually punchier down low and a bit brighter up hi... 
B and K 200.2
I own a B&K EX4420 which is a precurser to the 200.2 and it a wonderful amp with my Klipsch Reference and Heritage speakers. Good bass response with a warmish midrange to die for. The highs are a little rolled off but mate very well with my "b... 
Amp recommendations sought
Even though I hate this overused phrase, the Marantz MA-700 monoblocks are "giant killers".http://www.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cls.pl?ampstran&1327758530&/Marantz-MA-700-Monoblock-pairB&K monoblocks, though hard to find on the used market,... 
Amp recommendations sought
If these do not do the trick for you, resell them for what you paid or maybe a little more. They usually sell very fast when priced right.http://cgis.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/srch_fs.plI have owned several of these MA-700's and even a couple of MA-500... 
aragon 2005 vs b&k 200.5 ?
From my understanding, the Aragon 2005(Klipsch years) is pretty much the same amp as an Acurus 200FIVE, which I currently own. IMO, it is a great sounding amp that really thumps the midbass region and has very detailed highs. The B&K Reference... 
Speaker configuration Marantz 2270
I have a Marantz 2252B that sounds wonderful paired my Klipsch Fortes, Quartets, Heresy's, and Heresy II's. All are very efficient(95dB+) and have plenty of punch with the Fortes and Quartets being very punchy down low. If you like the "live" soun...
