Mastersound 300B and bass
Thanks for all the great input. With what all of you have said I'm set on getting a Mastersound 300B. Guess I could of course try to find a different 300B amp but as all the reviews of the Mastersound amps I've read are pretty good I don't see a r... 
Where can I buy B&W shipping boxes?
Hi, I just recently sold a pair of 703's and didn't have the boxes anymore. You can call B&W customer service and see if they have any boxes. They are awfully expensive and in my case weren't available at all. Maybe just post here in the wante... 
Would you pay to audition speakers
Would you buy a car without a test drive? Over the last 8 years I've bought 4 new cars. Each of these cars I took for a test drive and never was I asked to put down some money.I tried some cars and didn't like them, others were great. The BMW deal... 
Anyone familiar w brining speakers in from Canada
Thanks guys for the quick responses. The idea with the German passport came because years ago, before I actually moved here, I took some classes in Detroit and went over to Windsor on numerous occasions and always showed my German passport rather ... 
Any high end audio dealers in Aspen or close?
Thanks guys, I'll hope to find some time to at least get into one or two of the shops in Denver, but as the brother of a friend of mine owns a bar in Denver I'll better be real focused :) 
Make your own vacuum tubes
Glad you guys enjoyed the clip, well, at 17 minutes clip is hardly the a word that does it justice.Thing is that if he does it I'm sure there are others who do it. Wish there was a better place in the forum to post this as I'm sure a pretty much e...

Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend
Bjesien, I feel just like you. Didn't expect any more replies to my post and if my components were sold already I'd just jump on it and buy it as it surely is an amp that is worth trying.As I haven't even listed my amps yet I better use the time m... 
Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend
The main problem is that I find the sound of my current setup to be a bit too bright for my ears. A friend of mine described it as quite detailed and liked it a lot, but he's not into tube amps and finds them too warm sounding.The main problem mig... 
Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend
Well, made a mistake and just found out that the amp is the Due Venti rather then the 300 model. Still liked tyhe sound a lot and that also explains why the price is around 3000 rather then twice as much. Guess the problem with the amp not exactly... 
Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend
Thanks again for all the help. Bblilikoi, I think the PMC's are 6 Ohms/87db which doesn't seem too be too far away from you Sonus Faber Concertino Home monitors (88dB/6ohm)you've had. Were you ok with that setup and the amp you had. As you pointed...

Mastersound Amps. Anything similar you'd recommend
Thanks guys for the quick response. I'll have to take a look which exact model it was the dealer had there and will do that soon.I do like a good bottom end as that is what I'm currently missing (though I'm not sure whether that's the speakers or ... 
how to hook up subwoofer?
Thanks guys for your help. The subs they had were mainly B&W ASW608's and most of them sold for about 350 to a little over 400. Considering that the auction house charges another 10% on top of it I figured it's not a bad deal but not the best ... 
What connectors for DIY cable?
Yeah, tha shack truly seems to be tha shack. But in the end I found some connectors there that worked and the next task is to get that unruly 10 gauge wire somewhat straight and put those connectors on.Should that work then I'll see if it's worth ...
