Denon X2000

easy to find them... how about you just post the item numbers...

The seven review seems fairly positive and on target... and he did get the color of the woofers correct. No holds barred power and clarity without a hint, in the review, of fatique or brashness

Ah... your the guy with the single belle. I'd love to have that.

conventional or tankless?

Arent they the same... denon marantz? I can ALWAYS recommend Marantz.

Not bad for a four year old thread eh?

to bad... I just sold my SC35 for $350.

we might as well add Astell Kern

For an audio system, if a person has calibrated their ears using live music, they will not necessarily need to try a lot of different systems (and make perceived upward moves or perceived lateral moves) to know what they ultimately want. Depending upon the goal, the perspective will come from the calibrated ears. I cant agree with this in totality... how many good sounding live music events have you seen? I think I have seen as many bad sound events somewhere in equal amounts as to bad sounding home sounds systems.

Whats a ground loop?

that sounds like a great se up/combination... its to bad you have to sell them.

thad went from grizzlyman to bedhead

search in series and in parallel...

I am sure I will be using higher end USB connection or IIS (I2S)

perhaps the act of "trying new things" to experience those differences is actually part of the entire experience because in all honesty, there is no right or wrong... just personal taste.

I think there is something important to be said for having perspective... in that way you can really judge the value of, or the quality of, what it is you are involved in. How do we get perspective? by trial and error, by experiencing difference, by building up "seat time". I think a person that comes in and buys a vintage pair of 901's might say to themselves, "my god those are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard"... then give them a listen of some heritage and they gain some perspective irrespectful of the whether or not they personally like the heritage sound. The old adage, Travel broadens the mind applies here. I think when I first started this thread, my main concern was... when can we judge when enough is enough in terms of acquisitions and modifications when really, for me personally, the hobby is not about buying, finding deals or synergistic compromise and interplay of components but one of "Listening" to music.

in for server answers... I think I want to start ripping all my personal music to lossless format and stream/wire connect to my DAC

those look like they would be great rears to match a Cornwall front for 5.1

Now I have to trade my cherry center for a walnut... damn it. Has anyone at klipsch responded here?

Wtf... where did these come from? Furniture grade walnut is sezy!

In the light of the WAF thread and while sitting here listening to The Dark Knight @ 90db on my system, I am left in a bit of a quandary... is it important to vividly remember from where you have come, sonically, to really appreciate to where you are currently? The reason I ask is because I have dreamed of having a wonderful sounding system fillied with nuance, detail, dimension and impact since I was very young... and only now am I really feeling I have accomplished that. I, like most all of you, have owned many systems and in many configurations without ever feeling truly satisfied. Is this constant search for more and better a function of acquisition syndrome as opposed to actual listening enjoyment? Waiting for a new DAC to arrive next week,when is enough really... enough? Spend another two or three thousand dollars on equipment trying to achieve an additional two or three percent in perfection, or be satisfied in what perfection you have already achieved? This really does wreak of shopping addiction.

Oh... I'm married.

Google would have been faster for you. Unlike 99% of the population... speed is not nearly a important as accuracy. So shall it be written... so shall it be done.
