The purpose of this post is to present my very workable audiophile server system as I am sure there are folks like me out there pounding their head against a wall trying to figure out this vexing puzzle.

Please provide some feedback please.

My audiophile music server system:

I wanted to take the opportunity here to thank Stereophile for recognizing Continuum Audio Labs with Analog Component of the Year AND Product of the Year. It was an amazing and wonderful surprise to find out about these awards and both myself and the entire crew at Continuum Audio Labs are humbled and honored.

I know, I know, there's an obvious answer to this question. But it is too simple for me to figure out. I'm shopping for a set of 3-way speakers and I've looked at many - PSB, B&W, Revel and others. All of these brands have models, in various price ranges, with 2 woofers. I'm making the ASSumption that this is just a design choice (or gimmick) and doesn't necessarily have anything to do with how the speaker actually sounds. For example: I've listened to a 2 woofer model then a single woofer model, by the same manufacturer, and the single woofer sounds better. Is this a design issue?

A Chicago Tribune columnist, lamenting the passing of his favorite source for classical recordings - Tower Records, suggested that Tower's founder, Russ Solomon, was working on a new and smaller chain to be called Resurrection Records. Does anyone here know any more about this?

I am thinking about buying a pair of used JM labs Electra 936 speakers. I am wondering if any of you can share with me your experience. I would also want to get suggestions on an amplifier which can drive the speakers well. Thanks.

a cld-2950 and a US model Elite cld-99.I do not remember how the cld-1740 sounded but the other two beat my then cd transport (Audiolab).The differences were like night and day
