Greetings to all,

I am looking for some help and suggestions about building a good sounding stereo system. I am currently running an Onkyo TX-SR706 with JBL Studio 36 speakers and a JBL 12' subwoofer. I am looking to replace the receiver, the main speakers, and hopefully the subwoofer as well.

Right now I can achieve very little bass response, and the sound is not precisely clear.

I have a budget of about 5K and I am looking to replace the speakers I have. I am looking at either the Focal Electra 1027's or the PSB Synchrony one's. I listen to mostly electronica like Bjork, NIN, Portishead, etc. I also like classic rock like Neil Young, Journey, etc. I know these two things are on opposite sides of the spectrum but I would like to try to find something that will work pretty well for both.

Great bass would be nice but I really want something that images very well and has a very accurate sound.

Can somebody help me understand what does the widening/broadening of central peak, representing the 11.025kHz tone explains/means in the jitter test of dCS Puccini U-Clock?

Experiment measures "speed" of the quantum non-local connection.

A 2008 quantum physics experiment performed in Geneva, Switzerland has determined that the "speed" of the quantum non-local connection (what Einstein called spooky action at a distance) has a minimum lower bound of 10,000 times the speed of light.

Bush did the same thing. Yep, let the enemy know exactly, to the number, how many bad guys they are up against. One of the first things they teach cadets at West Point. In the meantime, it is always advantageous to not know exactly how many of the enemy we are up against. Again, the second thing they teach cadets at West Point. Note: The enemy never tells how many of them are fighting on their side. It's just not fair.

Here is a link I thought some of you might like to have for some new earbud foam that looks very good. I have ordered some for my 452 Denon's I just bought.

All I want for Christmas is to treat myself to a new stereo, as I've been using my son's Sony boombox for years. I will listen to Eagles, classical, red hot chili peppers, willie nelson etc, and live in a small townhouse. I want to spend no more than $800 and need advice. Please advise on my choices below. I'm basically just going on amazon, seems easy enough and when I go to stereo stores all they seem to have are more expensive systems. Thanks for the help!!

Speakers, Should I get Polk audio RTi4 for $130, Polk TSi200 for $300, or KlipschB-2 Synergy for $250?
