Some time ago, shortly after I purchased my Yamaha receiver, I purchased a cd player upon noticing that whenever I played a cd in my dvd player it sounded not so good. Yesterday, for kicks, I played a cd in the dvd player and lo and behold it sounded darn good. The only difference in my set up is a pair of m22ti's. Isn't that weird.

Yet another piece of evidence to support the theory that speakers are the most important component in an audio system!
