OK, I am having a quandry, I have a pair of Dynaco's I need to get moded and updated by the likes of someone like The Dynaco DOctor. They are MK-III's. I have been perusing the sites and see that the NAD amongst others has good reviews. I want a good 2 channel system for MUSCI, and a 5.1 for home theater. I already have enough speakers and amps for the home theater.

Should I sack the idea of going with a new NAD T7xx reciever, and just get my dyanco's updated fot the 2 cghannell stuff. I also have my eye on the axiom speakers, possably with a sub woofer.

Hey, you lucky denizens of the Big Apple!

On October 14, at the New York Hilton, Bill Nelson will be holding "Nelsonica 06."

He was the driving force, the Trent Reznor, if you will, of Be Bop Deluxe.

That will be his only live show of the year, and he usually trots out some fine Be Bop Deluxe tunes, or so I'm told.

If I hit the Lotto between now and then, I'm going.

OK, so, anyway, Be Bop Deluxe is worth getting to know.

Great band, hard for me to classify - almost a proto Talking Heads thing with their song variety and rhythms.

What do you think about Cambridge Audio amps? I am considering Azur 640A (Ver.2). Anything better in the same price range?

I had a recommendation to buy the Diamond 8s but I still can't decide. What do you think of them? I also consider Infinity speakers. Any recommendations in the same price range?
