Has price of used 802N's shot up?
There has been a lot of praise for the N802 speakers over the years, the Diamond series are not necessarily a big improvement over the regular Nautilus series. I believe these two factors are making the N802 speakers worth having, even at a premiu... 
HT amp for music- please help
I use a Krell TAS for both 5 channel and 2 channel stereo and could not be happier with the amp. Previously, I used a Krell KSA-250 for stereo playback, the TAS sounds better to my ears (cleaner, great bass and just as dynamic as the KSA-250 IMHO)...

True Sound Works Apogee Diva Ultimate - Any Good?
Many thanks for the additional responses to my post. Based on the last two responses I am now convinced TSW Diva Ultimate’s are the way I want to go eventually. Besides, they just look beautiful (IMHO) and make a statement about how serious we tak... 
HD Tracks- Kind of Blue
I agree, just purchased the 24/96 FLAC version, sounds extremely good to me. Does anyone know if the 24/192 version is a significant improvement over the 24/96 version?
