    I really appreciate this thread as I cannot think of a better way to be introduced to new favorite music. Just a few to mention that seem to get the best out of my 170 original mains is Muddy Waters "folk singer" in HDAD
    24/192 and 24/96
    For the surround I like the Coldplay Live 2003" and
    Celine " All the Way A decade of songs and video"
    but like more and more people I meet, my taste for music seems to be all over the place

    I am using a HK AVR435, anyone have any opinions on how much better this piece of electronics would sound with the Sierras
    I am using a Denon 3910 for my source
    340se for center and inwall rears with a Rel Strata III subwoofer
    My room is small

    I'm using HK247 with Sierra Front stage and it sounds awesome.

    On the other hand, I picked up "A meeting by the river" after reading about it in this thread and really liked the title song.

    Hi Rob, in my opinion, upgrading to the Sierra-1 would offer a significant improvement but only you can be the judge

    One of the best recordings I have heard recently on my sierras with my new proceed amp is the Blu-Ray of Dave Mathews & Tim Reynolds Live at Radio City MH. Its uncompressed sound & sounds phenominal!

    ani difranco's self-compiled retrospective "Canon" is a very good 2-disc album, and sounds fantastic on the 340SEs.

    also, if you like ska/punk at all, Streetlight Manifesto's newest album, "Somewhere in the Between," has some really amazing horn sections. i've been pretty much hooked on it since it was released.

    Highly recommended;
    Chicago Underground Duo- in praise of shadows
    Chicago Underground Trio- SLON
    If you like progressive jazz these two cds are for you. The current Chicago jazz scene is very rich and lively,and has been for years.
    musicians-Rob Mazurek-cornet/computer
    Chad Taylor-drums
    Noel Kupersmith-bass/computer
    A combination of acoustic and computer sound compositions. A sonic treat for your ears,and your Ascend loudspeakers. Superbly recorded.

    I found these compositions quite intuitive, easy to listen,very enjoyable and quite refreshing.

    Default the way to purchase music

    This is not really a recommendation for the music....as I am not a big Nine Inch Nails fan(although some of the tracks I like).

    But it is more of an endorsment on how they are selling their latest offering. I certainly hope music is sold this way more often in the future.

    For $5, you can download the entire 36 tracks in a lossless format. There are also different versions as well....from free MP3's all the way to special edition discs and vinyl, also Blu-Ray.

    Myself, I went the $5 route, and got all the tracks in FLAC.

    It also helps if you have a fast internet connection.
