I use it prob 80% music 20 % movies.Considering that this is almost full time music listening, and part time movie watching, I would focus entirely on upgrading for music. Assuming music listening is stereo only, options could be,1) Add a quality ... 
Pass XA 30.5 with Revel F 208 ?
Don_c55, while your calculations are correct, IMHO, it is not that simple unless you are listening to a 1K test tone @ 3 ft in an anechoic chamber. You must consider other factors like, actual listening distance and dynamic peak SPL for a preferre...

Zu Omen Def vs Zu Soul Supreme vs Omega Super XRS
A friend absolutely loves his Soul Superflys, and the Supreme is suppose to be much better. If your budget can stretch from the Supreme, how about the Druid V? Have you tried calling Sean to ask about the sound of the different models? I have hear...

subwoofer connection quandry

The fmtunerinfo site can be a little overwhelming, so I suggest looking at the rankings at the bottom of this page,http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/shootouts.htmlSurprising that the MR-78 is ranked #77, and a Tandberg 3011A is ranked #50.
