Ever sit down to listen and just say wow?
For me personally, yes of course - BUT (and a big BUT) - Nothing makes me happier when a fellow music lover comes over and listens and I get to see and appreciate their reaction - Nothing better than that!Greg

Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
34Dean - About 10 years ago I picked up a pair of Bowers & Wilkins DM604s locally on Craigslist for $250 (a steal).  They were absolutely amazing speakers, particularly for the money.  They are 90db and I recall having powered them w/ a 100WPC... 
Center channel speaker to match Snell Type J speakers?
FiveBlues - Welcome to the forum - I wanted to chime in here since I actually grew up with a pair of Snells and I'm quite familiar with the sound.  These were my dad's that he powered with separate preamp and amp made by a company called Amber.  U... 
Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
"Greg, I'm not using the amps in the AVR, I have separate amps. I'm only utilizing the Yamaha currently as a pre/pro."Ah - That being the case - use your AVR for video and audio processing for surround only and run all audio pre-outs from it to ... 
Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
"Greg, do you know how I would be able to connect the AVR to the SSP-300? I'm not quite sure what inputs I would connect it to."Dastro - I'd have to check the manual for the SSP but I think that it allows for HT type bypass as does the CP series... 
Used Preamp on a budget advice please.
Dastro - Your philosophy and approach is absolutely sound.In almost every respect the very best deals on used 2ch stereo preamps on the market today might just be older extreme high-end pre/pro's that lack HDMI and modern processing formats.I thin...

iPhone and Philips SHP9500 headphones
Portlandlay - Having followed and commented on your prior thread, my take is:Don’t expect to get a big increase in performance by adding a DAC - Your headphones were a bargain/ budget choice at $55 so you should simply be happy with them for what ... 
High quality interconnects - bargain price
Thanks but I think my post was misunderstood - I wasn't looking for cable recommendations (happy with what I have) and am familiar w/ Blue Jeans among others...I was merely pointing out that pro-audio is a good source for high quality at a low cos... 
B&W 803D2 for $4,500?
Win200- No doubt that the 803D2s are nice speakers and the price seems reasonable, but if I were in your situation, I think I might apply that same $4,500 for an original pair of N802s instead which should be doable at that price (or close).  Sinc...
