Last summer I replaced my 60xt mains with a pair of F100s, and I've been delighted. But, I'm still using my 50xt center speaker. At $1500, I'm not sure replacing it with a C100 is a value proposition. Any opinions or experience on this replacement?

Roy Orbison's Black&White Night on blu-ray. Yes, it's just one band and one genre, but it is superbly recorded.

Although I have plenty of CDs, I kept most of my LPs and even cassette tapes. When my nearly 40 year old Denon TT gave out a few months ago, I bought a Technics SL-1210GR and decided to dive back into vinyl. Classic jazz from the 50s and 60s: Coleman Hawkins, Miles Davis, Ben Webster, to name...

Nice fix, huh? Do you have an email for this Ron fellow?

While rewiring one of my ML Motion 60XTs, I stupidly managed to break one of the binding posts. I contacted ML support for help, but never received a reply. I couldn't find an OEM replacement post, so does anyone know of a suitable substitute? Also, how do I get at the post to replace it...
