Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200?
AV, I totally agree with what you are saying about the AVR's. I personally wouldn't expect all that much from one in that range either. It really depends on the person and their expectations. 
RIP Panny Plasmas
Liz, the market rush is still, and always will be flat panels. LCD, and LED are flat panels. I have all plasma tv's, except my pj, and prefer them. I guess I just don't understand your "flat panel" comment. 
Where's the talk/reviews on the Emotiva UMC-200?
I guess I find it pretty hard to take the Emo seriously for $600. Assume for a minute the company has to make a $300 profit on that. Give or take a little. With cost of parts, labor, and shipping, how good can the components really be? I could be ... 
Does anyone really need to spend 10k on power
Need has nothing to do with. People buy what they want. All of our homes are filled with things we don't "need" 
Krell S-550i & Cremona M
Better to have extra power than not enough. Most damage comes from over driving the amp. That's a great sub. Personally, I'd keep it. I use at least one in all of my systems. 
Best speaker that Proac ever made
I have the 3's, and love them. They do need the right amp, and room. I would guess 12 X 12 would be a bit small. I tried several amps and was so disappointed I wouldn't even use them. My friend has them running w some vintage threshold gear, so I ...

$1750 AVR/separates + disc player budget:thoughts?
If it were me, I wouldn't drop $1100 of my budget on the Oppo. I know they have a great following, and reviews. The only one I ever heard didn't really impress me, and it was in a system that's better than mine. (or at least it should be) If you h... 
indoor speakers used oudoors
They'll play fine, but, it's a bad idea. You'll have no idea how loud they are actually playing. A few drinks, the volume knob goes to 11, bad things happen. Personally, I'd never bring my good stuff outside. 
Best speaker that Proac ever made
My personal favorite is the response 3. That also is limited to what I have heard. I use 3's at home, and have no intention of ever selling them. I'd love to have the funds to try the 4 or 5's. 
Amp recommendation for Klipsch Heresy
They are so efficient you can drive them with almost anything. Tubes would be nice. He could get a hafler 220 for that price. I still have one and its a great little amp. 
AVR 300 Powers up, 8 seconds, powers off
This is an old post, but I'll chime in anyway. The Arcam AVR 400 is super dependable. I'm a dealer, and have not had an issue with any I've sold. The 360 is the same. The 600's that have the updates are dependable as well. They and the 500's had i...

What does REFERENCE mean?
It is what you use as a "reference" to judge other things. Speakers or other equipment, recordings, cables or anything else. Exactly what the name implies.
