Im hooking up a new system for the apartment and I need to know the main things when looking at buying a reciever and speakers. I see recievers that put out more watts and have more channels but are cheaper than other recievers with less wats and less channels. What do i need to look for and then speakers. Im looking at Infinity Primus 360's. When it comes to picking speakers how do i know the difference? I just need to know the basics and eventually I'll learn it all when i form a solid base of information. Thanks.

Tyler Acoustics. Outlaw Audio. Axiom. These are but a few of the many companies who sell their products direct to the customer. I think it would be a great idea for Stereophile to start performing reviews on these and other web-based company's speaker systems. Indeed, maybe Stereophile should even consider dedicating an entire issue to those companies who exclusively sell their wares (including electronics) directly to the consumer.

Art Dudley, commenting on the beautiful lyric to "I Remember You", points out that the words sound right and opines that writing such lyrics can't be taught. His point would seem to be that one either knows what "sounds right" or one doesn't. I hope he's wrong, because some teaching appears to be needed.

A few pages earlier in Michael Fremer's coverage of HE 2006 I encountered the phrase, "...for Ken Kessler and I to compete...". For I to compete? How about, "for Ken and ME to compete"? Not only is that correct, IT SOUNDS RIGHT.

I am looking for some input on First Sound preamps. The reviews look good but not all is to be believed. Also, any suggestions to match up with Wavac 833 V1.3 amps.
