Any updates? 
BPT Power Conditioner
The BPT 3.5 Signature Plus has completely transformed my system. I've had/heard lots of power conditioners and this one sounds closest to the ideal of battery power than any I've yet heard with doing the least harm. I cannot yet find any negative ...

Rumney, congratulations and let us know what you think. You may also want to check out the Kharma 3.2's if conventional speakers are to your liking still after hearing the horns. I believe there is a dealer in NJ, not too far from the city. Good Luck 
Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70??
GuidoInterested to know the circumstances and equipment with your VTL session. I agree it can be a little soft with the stock tubes, but with Telefunken 12ax7's and some other little tweaks it's tough to beat, especially paired with the Krell. A p... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Larry B Nice insight.As far as complexity, it has benefited the hiend dealer community to obfuscate and complicate to the best of their capabilities. This may bring short term shot in the arm revenue but will ultimately end with a lot of turned of...

A guy who would lug those speakers to a show MUST know what he's talking about! That's a serious commitment to good sound... Wish I could get them in my room ;^) 
Pre amp for Krell FPB & Teac P-70 & D-70??
Been there and done the KCT with the Krell 600 and 750. I might also suggest you pick up a Transparent Pixl to plug your amp into to fix the analytic/dry/thin sound you are describing. It takes the 600 to another level entirely more refined, round...

Ahhh...the eternal question of which speaker to match with the Lamm ML2's. It's funny how that tends to be the component people work around even though it's a tremendous challenge to find the right speaker. How efficient is efficient enough? The t... 
Preamp with near-reference quality built in phono?
Joule LA150. No question phono stage very close to the Rhea as well as Lamm LP2 in recent listening session at a friend's. A lot less cash than the other options as well. 
Jazz station recommendations, please.

Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this?
9rw is dead on. 
Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's
Thanks for the comments. I have to agree with Dkarmeli that the Lamm ML2 has produced and is capable of some of the most realistic dynamics and accurate, deep bass that I have EVER heard. After hearing this system and going home to my Wp7 driven b... 
Revel Salons - Do they really sound like this?
I've heard the Salons set up properly and they were sterile and unimpressive in my session as well. Your experience seems even worse than what i had heard and I'd guess that they were setup out of phase. Telltale signs: no bass, images were unnatu... 
avantgarde loudspeakers
Ed, you raise a rather controversial if not intriguing idea, that someone building their own horn system can actually build a higher quality horn. If I recall the approximate cost of Ava tgarde trios was around 60k. Can you tell me where I could f...
