I wouldn't worry about the 7006s overpowering the room. I have a pair each of BP10s and BP8s in a 10' sq. room and it sounds great.

Way too general of a question. Budget? Room size? 2-channel or multichannel? All these are important.

My favorite Far Side cartoon shows a dog leading a blind guy into a mock-up of a jet engine. A guy with a clipboard is saying "too bad, the other tests went really well.":D

Sounds like a job for metallurgists, not politicians.

The only radio I have is in my HT receiver, and I don't have an antenna connected to it. At this point, it looks like my classical experiment is kind of fizzling out. The samples I have tried are pleasant enough, but don't compel me to listen to more. I do enjoy what I would call...

If the speakers are not getting enough power, biamping could help. If they are getting enough power, it will not make any difference at all.

Then you don't understand the experiment. Reread post #22. The fact that it is impossible to tell the difference between a turntable and a recording of that same turntable on CD proves conclusively that CD is a zero-loss format.

Pretty much anything will work for surrounds, but it is critical for the center and mains to match. If there is a change in tone during pans, it will stick out like a sore thumb.

I know there is a lot of research into artificial intelligence. This has never seemed like a good idea to me, as we have enough issues with computers that don't think for themselves. It could also become the basis of robots that attack on their own, without any need for terrorists (how's that...

So they would ruin the vinyl if they could.:D

When I turn up the sub with bright speakers, what I hear is bright speakers with more bass.

Absolutely. Listening tests, such as the one I described previously, prove it.

I did do that for a while, and got pretty good at it (much more complex models than the ones I built as a kid.) The old eyes find it excessively stressful now, though. This might be a good time to expand my collection of art books.

These days, I can browse a large record store for a couple of hours and still come away empty-handed. That is the result of owning literally thousands of CDs (with even those being the ones that survive "pruning".):)

Sorry, you are simply wrong.

The recent Alan Parsons remasters are fantastic. Some other great rock recordings include True Stories by Talking Heads, Avalon by Roxy Music, Time by ELO, Thrak by King Crimson, and The Colors in the Wheel by Venus Hum.

On the way to arriving at its current state, my system passed through several incarnations. Several of these were considerably more expensive than the all-Cambridge Audio setup I have now. At one point, I even had B&W speakers costing 1.5X as much as this entire system. In spite of that, this...

For new age/world music my favorite label SQ-wise is Gemini Sun. For jazz it is Heads Up. Certain artists can always be counted on for outstanding recordings also. These include Andreas Vollendweider, Kitaro, Robert Rich, Spyro Gyra, Micket Hart, and Bill Frissell. My ultimate reference...

Maybe I will try one of her older ones. As I said, I like her playing. I agree that she is hot, but have you seen Mindi Abair?:cool:

The good news is that I am now 100% satisfied with my 2-channel setup (and I have been 100% satisfied with my HT for several years.) The bad news is that audio is my hobby. So now what?:eek:
