What is your budget? You can find a lot of nice powerful amps that are more affordable than the $2k one you were looking at.

What would the better choice for a new AVR? The things I want are Ethernet capability, 3-D ready, HDMI in/out, iPhone compatible.

1. Pioneer Elite VSX-32

2. HK 3600

3. Anything else in that...

Check out some Dali Mentor 2's

How many hours do you have on them?

Agreed - run them in 2-channel for a few days. They won't be completely broken in.....that takes a few months and a few hundred hours before they really start to loosen up. Caps will burn in too...

Don't get that center speaker.... and he doesn't know what the heck he's talking about. Are you sure the receiver works properly? Test out some other speakers with it and see if it works. If it...

I have a set of the OWM3's. They sound pretty good for HT but wouldn't recommend them if you play a lot of music.

I tried out pretty much the same as mdaudioguy and ended up going with the Def Tech's. Right now, I'm glad I spent the extra money. They sound very nice!!

So I added a MonsterHT700 to my Snell sub. I thought it would help protect the sub in storms, etc and didn't think it would hurt since it was the only thing that was plugged into it. The Snell has...

That is one pertty pre!!

Have you looked at the RTi8's:

If you have the room, get the 5/A6. I used to have the CSi5 and it was very nice....

Although I will say that with some mods and some good clean power, the A4 REALLY comes alive!! I've also...

I have heard them and they sound very nice. They have some favorable reviews as well across the internet and are highly regarded in the UK. Although may be a bit forward for your taste compared to...

www.audiogon.com is a great place to start looking. I would keep on eye on the forum here because there are great deals on a daily basis.

Very true!! I actually like my 555 over my 545 with my RTi8's with my Nak CA-5. The low end punch isn't as great with the 545. Both are accurate, detailed and great amps IMO.

The interesting...

Your bookshelves will only play down to what they are capable of.....I'm sure you were missing a lot of low end with them.

Why not get a pre that has dual rca outputs and send one set to your amp...

That sounds good in theory but.... if I turn my woofer in my RTi8 45 degrees, is it going to sound different? Is it the dimensions of the box that causes you to believe this? or is the xo that you...

How long have you had your 12's for?

I'm not really following you when you say "take" 500 watts??

I would be happy with:
Pre/Pro - McIntosh
Amp - McIntosh
Speakers - Monitor Audio PL300
Sub - Dual Monitor Audio PLW15

Just what I was thinking....
