It appears that Benjamin Zander, who I acknowledge is a fine Mahler conductor (though not up to Bernstein), is convinced that commentaries - explanations of the music, if you will - are necessary to make complex music like the Mahler symphonies attractive to the layman. His recent Telarc releases of Mahler symphonies include companion CD's which provide his "explanations".

hi, can anyone tell me if they have tried pairing the paradigm mini monitors with theyr cc-170 center channel, is it to small ? would that vs cc-370 center make THAT much difference? =)

Excellent forum everyone. This is my first post. I recently purchaded a Denon 3806 as part of a HT set up and am very happy with the unit. As I am reading the manual and playing with the settings to learn I noticed that when I play music if I select DTS neo 6 I get a certain sound, I get a slightly different one when switching to the Dolby setting, and yet a different sound (louder also) when I press the button marked 7ch. I am confused as to why I hear something different for each setting. Can someone please help me understand this. Thank you in advance.
