    How much is your main home audio system worth?

    <font color='#000000'>Eric; Please report back on your 2900 when you have the time. &nbsp;I am very interested in this player as it does not downconvert SACD to pcm, and has full bass management and digital delay compensation out of its analog outputs for DVD-A &amp; SACD, and supposedly has an...

    What are your favorite brands of cables?

    <font color='#000000'>Wow, quite expensive speaker cables, I couldn't imagine spending over $1000 for speaker wire! Based on the physical distance between (+) and (-) conductors of the Purenote speaker cables, I suspect inductance is higher than ordinary 12AWG Zip Cord. &nbsp; Pure Note Speaker...

    I need a good high power 2 channel

    <font color='#000000'>I am not sure why you think you need 300wpc into 4ohms.  Most high end multichannel amps don't even deliver that much power! If I remember correctly, DCM speakers are high efficient designs and shouldn't require that much power to get loud SPL levels in moderately large...

    <font color='#000000'>Richard; Just a few suggestions, perhaps you should tell others what you plan on using for mains, rears, sub, and electronics, also room size and listening preferences. IMO it is imperative to voice match front and center speakers for a more seemless blend of the front...

    audio CD sound quality

    <font color='#000000'>Most of the audible differences between CD/DVD players playing back Redbook CD become moot if you use the digital outputs and let your high end Receiver/Pre/Pro do the D/A conversion.  If you don't plan on using the analog outputs of your CD/DVD player, then it shouldn't be...
