Spectral SDR 4000SV owners?
I have one with recommended MIT cables in an all Audio Research system. Highly resolving. Comparable to hi res in a great hi res system. 
Best sounding SACD's to show-off system
Elton’s sacds sounded great to me until I went back and played them on vinyl. GYBR, in particular, was much better in every way on vinyl (I have a first MCA pressing that has been played hundreds of times). That being said, the Elton sacds sound b... 
The best place in NYC
Rhapsody is very impressive and Bob Visintainer is one of the very best guys in the industry. A pleasure to work with. I almost bought MBLs there years ago but could not make the stretch for the 101s. Early this year, I was super-impressed with Ra... 
I hate biasing!
amagloic:Please let us know what he says. He is a pretty straight shooter. Long before ARC approved KT 150s for the Ref 150 and while they were house testing for what seemed like a year, I asked him at a show if I could drop them in without worry....

Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
I've auditioned virtually every high end speaker available in the US market over the past 20 years--and some have come close to the overall Wilson presentation for me for various reasons (Eggleston, Rockport, KEF, Revel, Vandersteen, YG, Lawrence ... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
I did not like the "Wilson sound" at all up to and including the Watt Puppy 6. They sounded hollow in the midrange as kiethahughes says above. But I loved the change in sound first appearing in the Sophia (which were my first Wilsons) which was wa... 
Please Read and express your feelings and opinions....
Indeed the forum has become coarse but most often on arguments about science vs empirical evidence (ie-fuses, interconnects) or on certain threads where a dealer hijacks the exchange about a product to damn it with faint praise, talk about his vas...
