| vienna acoustics haydn with denon avr3803??? I think Denon sounds sort of dead. A very good match would be Harman Kardon AVR receiver refurbed at www.harmanaudio.com. The silk tweeter should nicely mellow out the peaky HF of the H-K. | |
| Recommend speakers for a strange move Epos M15, Red Rose has a new $1,200 ribbon / carbon fiber speaker, B&W CDM 7nt. But your room may be too big for these.New Monitor Audio S series and B&W CM6 okay for H-T. | |

| What's under YOUR CD player? How about aluminum honeycomb composite panels??????enter part number 8458K31Also available in ABS and polypropylene.Maybe this could work under speakers too. | |

| Opinions on Fluance... Commissar, try a Harmon Kardon. I was impressed for the money. It is a high current (for a receiver), wide bandwidth design. They are slightly lively and I think would match well with Mission which could use some dynamic punch.You can buy refurbis... | |
