My New Bel Canto DAC 2
Steve,I paired the Bel Canto with the Pioneer 525 for a number of months, before finally auditioning and then purchasing a dedicated CD transport. The 525 was pretty good, but the Proceed CDD transport I now use is much better in all respects, and... 
Speaker suggestions wanted
R. FYI, per an ad on this site, Dunlavy changed the name of the SM1 to SC-IIa, and the only change is cosmetic. I would have been surprised if the new owners would have dropped the SM1 since I have never read any negative comments from anyone who ... 
Speaker suggestions wanted
R.,Hmmm, it seems that Dunlavy has significantly changed its website within the past few weeks. I seem to recall that a local company in CO. purchased DAL and perhaps they have changed names of speakers or consolidated the line, e.g., I was unable... 
Speaker suggestions wanted
R,My listening room is very similar in dimensions to the one you describe, though a bit more than 10' width. But a few questions first: I am not sure I understand your restrictions on placement. If the speakers are placed on the long wall, with th... 
No Sellers willing to do COD anymore???
Thanks Sugarbrie (edible combo?). About 1 1/2 years ago, I checked with UPS and USPS and was told that they accepted personal checks, cashier's checks, and money orders, but that I could not specify which ones were sufficient for delivery. Sounds ...

Last Tuesday, I sent a Money Order cross country, which unfortunately the seller has not yet received. 7 days seems pretty long for a first class letter, and I was wondering if it does not appear in the next few days, what options do I have with a... 
Chazzbo ask's "How much juice for Maggie 3.6's???"
Hi Chazzbo,I used BK202ST with Maggie IIIa's for many years, always a little dissappointed with dynamics, transients, and resolution, though the amp drove them plenty loud. By coincidence, I borrowed the Adcom 5802 and was amazed at how much bette... 
Maggie 1.6's and Power. How much is enough?
Hi RSA,I owned a pair of Maggie IIIa's for years with a BK 202ST, with similar or somewhat higher power rating as your Marantz. I was never that happy with the set up thought the amps could drive the speakers to very loud levels. At some point I b... 
Best speakers in 2k-3k price point
Faced a similar dilema last year and auditioned models from Proac, Dunlavy, Joseph, Soliloquy, Thiel, B&W in that price range. I decided on the Dunlavy SM1 monitors (quite large for monitors) which struck me as having a favorable balance of th... 
need suggestions - transport for EVS Millenium Dac
Hey Tom,I tried pairing several transports with my Bel Canto Dac, and found that a DVD player, while good, was not nearly as good in my system as a dedicated redbook transport. I settled on a used Proceed CDD, which is a little out of the price ra...
