| Buchardt S400s An Odyssey Audio Stratos Extreme dual mono amp would be perfect. | |
| Usher Audio BE-718 or Kef LS50 Hi,I have a pair of the Usher Audio be718’s.They definetly sound romantic as one of the folks described them.... I find that I prefer a sub with them contrary to some reviews. The beryllium tweeter are among the airiest smoothest natural sounding ... | |
| Buchardt S400s I heard a lot of good reviews on these, and I'd love to try them.I think a tube preamp with a SS amp would be the best for them, also a pair of solid stands would be a necessity. | |
| Best bookshelf speakers I've got a pair of Totem Rainmakers and I've really enjoy listening to them. A solid stand filled with sand is a must, and they sound amazing!Non-fatiguing, smooth, transparent, play low, wide soundstage, etc...- and they don't cost an arm and a l... | |
| What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid? Make sure your amp’s input impedance is compatible with your preamp’s output impedance. I believe the rule of thumb is there should be at least a 10X difference between them.I have a system with book shelf monitors and I cannot believe how much di... | |

Very reliable great sounding and has a 20 year warranty! It blows away many more expensive high end amps.I've owned mine for over 15 years now... | |
| Audible Illusions or PS Audio BHK preamp I agree that I've never found my AI Mod 3 fatiguing. It's quite the opposite, it is designed with the philosophy that "Less is More" and "Keep it simple". It offers the best of both worlds as it is a hybrid preamp. It gives you the best from solid... | |
| Looking for an amp....Opinions about Odyssey or Bel Canto audio anyone? I've owned an Odyssey Stratos for over 15 years now, and had it upgraded to an Extreme model along the way. It's been very reliable and mates up well with tube preamps. I've been very happy with its performance and sound quality. I can't say anyth... | |

| B W 801II w/upgrade vs. 801III ???? Hello,I own B&W 802 Matrix Series II. I believe the differences between the 2's & the 3's is minor. - The Auto Power Protect circuit has been eliminated.- Ferro-fluid was added to the tweeters to give a little more protection, thus slightl... | |
| bass allignment filter? If your Golden Flutes are noisy then they're defective. I believe there is a web site for golden flutes just do a serch. Yes I agree with Putty the sound anchor stands will also do wonders for bass. I use a home made stand with spikes. | |
| Audioquest Cobolt 2 ??? I'm using Cobolt originals now in a bi-wire set-up, I went from Midnights the original version in a non-biwire set-up. The effects I heard were a combo of both the bi-wire and the cable. The cable is very smooth , open and it pushed the soundstage... | |
| bass allignment filter? I tried the B&W filter and I didn't care much for it. I am much more pleased with the Golden Flutes, you could find them used for ~$150.00. They're just what the 802's need, and they don't mess up the transparancy. | |
| BUZZ IN SPEAKERS Do you have a TV set connected to your Preamp? If you do then the buzz could be comming from it. The antennas / cable / satelites are grounded which creates a big ground loop. | |
| Audible Hum One thing I recently found helpful, is try unplugging the inputs to your preamp to see if it goes away. I had my TV connected into the aux input, TV's are a great culprits of hum because there antennas are grounded. This solved my hum problem, and... |
