Attention Conrad Johnson Premier 11A owners
Seems like most of you prefer Sonus Faber. I'll go audition them this weekend. Thanks guys! 
Newbie needing experts' advice
Yes, I wanted to know more about KEF 3.2's (Thanks Ljgj) Now I'm more confused about this than before... All the speakers mentioned are great ones, but I wanted to know specifically about CJ 11a and its good matching speaker. I've tried Magnepan 1...

Thank you all for your great inputs. I live in a loft (20 x 30 x 12). The speakers will sit along 20' wall with brick wall and windows in the back. Hardwood floor. Lively sound. My listening habits vary: sometimes walk around or sit down. Wife LOV... 
Can’t believe anyone
Hi Xmore,there's a really cool dealer off Lincoln Avenue. It's called Audio Image. give him a call at 773-334-2400. 
Replacing my preamp???
Thanks all for your input. BAT sounds too neutral to my taste. Maybe I'm weird, but I prefer warm, sweet, romantic tube sound better than the neutral sound. After searching through the forum, Conrad-Johnson seems to have the quality I want. I gues... 
Help with tube amps
I used to own a Golden Tube SE-100 (EL-34 based), and just loved the sound. It can be had for about $1000, used. Customer service might be a problem as the company went under, but there seems to be some companies that repair GT gears. Good luck wi... 
XLR for BAT VK-3i and VK-200?
I'm very happy with the transparent musiclink ultra between my VK-3i and VK-200. 
How much does your system retail for?
I have the exactly same problem with Outlier. Only 3 months ago, my system was worth $5000. Now it's well over $17000. Constant "upgrading"-- Some worthwhile, some not. And I CAN'T STOP!!! If my wife saw my posting, she'll surely strangle me in my... 
Is there an alternate to Martin Logans?
I used to own ML Aerius. Sold them because I wasn't really happy with narrow sweet spot and lack of dynamic even with good subs. But never had trouble playing them loud. How loud is loud for your folks? Just curious... 
Speakers for BAT equipment
Thanks for all your help. My demo music piece is Symphony No. 7 by Beethoven. Paragon Regents sounded unbelievable playing it, but fell flat with more dynamic pieces such as Metallica or Aerosmith. Can Thiel 2.2 or Audio Physic Virgos pull this off? 
Vinyl Newbie, please help...
Thanks. I'm using BAT VK-3i, and it does say "phono," but I'm not sure if it has phono section built in to it. Any other thoughts? 
Class Action Suit against UPS?
Man, I don't know where to start. First off, UPS made a huge dent in my Castle Severn speakers. Then punched out a woofer in my Aerius. Then I shipped out Golden Tube SE-100 from Chicago to Florida-- the whole inside shifted, and nothing worked in... 
SACD player is not that great.
Interesting choice of words, ehider. Japs? Very interesting indeed... 
Wall socket change
Thanks G, Do you have any tips on re-wiring the house? Where can I start to rewire? Run a wire from fusebox in the basement into my room?
