Just keeps getting better and better, don't it? But there are some who think it takes $100,000 to spin a platter? Why is this stuff invented for well under $2K, DSD/SACD, it is the 21st century, things do improve.

Anyone here familiar with his products? I've seen some raves but since he does not have a website it is hard to learn much about them.

I would like to add a (critical listening level) pair of in-wall speakers to my system. The system is not really high end but it is all I can afford at this time. I have a 125 watt Yamaha integrated amp and 6 pairs of in-wall/ceiling speakers and a sub woofer on the first floor. I have 5 pairs of Klipsch speakers that do what I expected them to do but I have one room where I installed a pair of Polk speakers that seem to lack depth and base. I would like to replace this pair with something a little higher end ($1,500.00 max) and use this as a dedicated listening room.

obsolete, noisey, variable...SS after all this is the 21st century ain't it? Does your Emerson radio sound better than Sirius? Or SACD? http://www.upgradecompany.com/upgrade.php

I'm looking to buy some floor standing speakers online. I've always liked kef and was considering some used 104's (previous post), but I'm now begining to get a little more familliar with the newer products. I've spotted some IQ5's online for about $550 for a new pair and IQ9's for about $850. Since there online, I'm not going to be able to listen to them to compair, so anyone out there have experience with these speakers? I can afford the IQ5 without to much pain, or I could get the IQ9's but it would mean a bit more of a financial stretch.
