dedicated amp outlet vs avs 2000
I'd be interested to see what Krell say's on this. Why not call em and get back to us? I've been considering using an AVS2000 on a job with bigger amps, and was wondering what they'd hold before giving up dynamics! I've know what they'll do on sma... 
PS audio P600 in multiwave operation
I like the Power plants well enough in certain applications my self. I owned a couple of PS300's, and did also have problems with "transformer buzz" and such from certain pieces in multi-wave settings! The Sinewave is the most trouble free. I coul... 
Thiel 2.4 and 7.2 versus 5i
I've sold Thiels for years, as with many others. I've owned lots of speakers as well, including Thiel 2.3's and 1.5's for my listening room. While I pressently don't have Thiel in my set up's, I always admired their neutrality, detail, and refinem... 
Klipsch love them or hate them.
The trick with the Klipsch's I'm referencing (SB2's) is TUBE GEAR!!!...yes, unforgiving solid state makes them too foreward and in your face for comfort if not careful. Balance is the key, and a properly mated tube amp does the trick! Keep in mind... 
Options for Integrated amp?
I have sold Rotel for years. You would gain TREMENDOUSLY in sound quality by upgrading the Rotel to say one of the affordable, yet sonically supperior Jolida Integrated tube amps! And the sound is at least 100% better(if not more) than the sonics ... 
Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ?
I think that's a lot of nice theories that Sogood is putting forth. But bottom line is that I'll take his passive preamp out of his system, and replace it with a good active, play some rock, and we'll see which is more dynamic! Infact, I'll put mo... 
High End Myth Glossary.
I would like to apologize for my previous comments regarding Padigm speakers, as I'm having a bad day. Really I never listen to anything but Paradigm in my spare time, and could care less about listening to any other speaker I've sold over the yea... 
High End Myth Glossary.
Myth #1 (from reading audiogon post for so long): Paradigm speakers sound good. Myth #2: Most audio industry professionals and reviewers us Paradigm speakers in their "reference rigs" from which to compare other designs to.Myth #3: Paradigm is the... 
B&W 7NT vs. Paradigm reference 80 for plinius mkII
Even though I'm not a B&W owner per se, simply stating as one who's sold both brands side by side over the years on a retail level, there's not one Paradigm speaker(except the subs) that I'd be interested in owning any time soon! I just don't ... 
Why an active preamp with Rock-N-Roll ?
Have yet to hear, in my 20+ years of experience around high end audio stores and 1000'S OF SYSTEMS, one single passive/pre set up system that sounded as dynamic potentially as a good active preamped system! Something is to be said about the gain s... 
Zen and the art of home theatre adjustments
Ah you bring up some very pertinent and thought provoking questions. Indeed there are LOTS of paramaters and adjstments/tweeks to consider in a properly set up HT these days...and the difficulties keep growing as the system complexities do! These ... 
Home Theater Speaker Advice
Again, I just don't get it! Why do people continually consider mostly "music speaker designs" for their "dedicated home theater rigs!?" If you look at what the pro reviewers are using for their reference HT rigs, you'll get a better perspective as... 
Klipsch love them or hate them.
Well I must say I have to amend my previous post here. After all that I said previously regarding the Klipsch Line, and my experiences with them, I now have a new reference for which I'll be using for budget HT rigs from now on!...the little Klips... 
What tube pre amp for live sound on rock and roll
Update:...I've got a friend,who's opinion and experience I trust and respect very well. He's used a lot of high end tube preamps over the years, and swears by the little Cary $1200 piece! I forget the model, but I'm sure you could find it with som... 
Need help on speaker selection
Marco, I wouldn't be too hasty with those words regarding recent Klipsch designs! I have heard many Klipsch speaker designs over the years, and was never impressed really...including the older "classic klipsch" stuff likey you're mentioning. I was...
