Pricey but should be good.

The Billy Joel and Katherine Jenkins K2HD discs sound great on the MCD-1100. I might pick up Santana's Caravansari next. There is no way I was going with another Eagles disc.

I'm looking forward to a little free time this weekend so I can sit back and listen. Will post disc impressions in the music thread.

BTW, I did consider whether to buy another Eagles CD...I'm also interested in that Santana release as well.

Thanks,
Mike

The SF Elipsa SEs with the Peachtree Grand Pre sounded very good, but that was in a large room.

And the Futuras, of course. Not sure about the DS450Ms though.

Missed you. When were you there?

What do you mean about the DS450M's?

I saw this BMC (German) gear in two rooms and it looked pretty good and the pricing wasn't too crazy either. Paired with the Venture speakers they made some of the better sound at the show.

The forthcoming D'Agostino pre-amp matchs nicely with the Momentum's.

I've heard a few of their pieces. If I were to move up from my W4S gear, it would be to BMC.

These little Emotiva powered speakers speakers sounded explosive. Might be nice in some oddball applications. Cheap too.

I liked the styling and the build quality. The product is direct shipped from the distributers warehouse in the US and that is who you pay. He then gives the dealer a fee.

No, I was not using a fish-eye lens. There were some crazy shaped speakers in a couple of rooms. The didn't sound too bad either.
