Backgroundblur: Good. I'm there. I think I'm going to quit whining and start winning. Many good DACs mentioned in this thread alone so I'll explore with enthusiasm and look at this challenge as a fun thing. I really feel a fundamental shift into t...

Need advice on CLX surround system
Thank you so much. I appreciate the comments. I've been searching for Vantages but they may be too much for the space - I have located a pair of Scripts but was wondering if they would have the presence and imaging to pair with the CLX's. My incli...
