Speaker wires for SF Liuto towers and Smart center
Kalbi23, if you have made a non returnable purchase for the Audioquest GBC, then you have nothing to lose by trying them for a while. I doubt they are going to sound horrible. Then after being familiar with the sound you have, post a thread for re... 
MM7055
Jeffpell,The MM7055 is a very good amp in its price range, however I think it would be only a marginal improvement over you current SR7007. Check the measured power output for each here,http://www.hometheater.com/content/marantz-sr7007-av-receiver... 
Forte F 45 Preamp
Sorry Unsound, the F-44 had no option for an external power supply. Here is a manual for the F-44,http://www.soundcable.ru/stuff/FORTE%2044.pdfIt does have the "data bus", and the manual states that is for the remote controlling other equipment, w... 
Forte F 45 Preamp
Unsound, been shaking my memory as well, sounds like a half empty container of nuts and bolts. The difference you describe was going from F-40 to the F-44, however I'm clueless about the F-45. 
5.1 under 4k?

New Pre Amp suggestions
He is just trying to make a sale. The Marantz AV7005 is a very good unit, and anything new at your budget or less will just have newer features. For a better sound you would need to spend substantially more. Your biggest improvement for movies wou...

13yr old speaker upgrade
Ivan_nosnibor, I'm very familiar with the DM604 S3, and to my knowledge, there is no fuse, however that was a good suggestion. Cisko213, can you describe the symptoms you are experiencing? 
13yr old speaker upgrade
Even by today's standard, the DM604 S3 is still a very good speaker and worth decent money used, however not much with one not functioning properly. Crossovers rarely fail. What is the sound coming from the speaker? Just guessing, I'm wondering if...
