Good Sub for Martin Logan ReQuests, Help
I have a pair of Quest Zs which I wanted to run without a sub but there just wasn't enough deep bass. I tried a B&W, I had a Mirage in for awhile & sold that. I went to a REL Stadium II & after spending some time dialing it in I am ver... 
Coping in an Age of Uncertainty
I have been wrestlingwith this issue myself. I recently purchased a 65 inch 16x9 HD ready TV. On DVD playback my Panasonic didn't look too good. I needed progressive scan so I was in a Circut City & they had a demo JVC Xv-723 for$450 so it was... 
Suggestions for Cables all with Krell
I agree with Bill. I have a Krell300cd, KAV250A amp with a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 between them. I am using Synergistic Research Resolution Reference all around including power & speaker cords. I had Cardas Quadlink 4 before & got a very ni... 
synergistic cables?
I couldn't agree more but to get optimal performance you need to use the active shielding.I am using Resolution Reference all around & the music comes out of a deep black background with fantastic detail & a huge soundstage. Sevaral of the... 
Preamp with Remote ?
Sonic Frontiers Line 3 is definetly worth an audition as is the 2. I have had the 1,2&3 in my system & enjoyed all of them. Compared to the 2 the 3 gives more bass & a slightly wider & deeper soundstage. I have the 3 now but the 2 ...

Help with speakers Martin Logan SL3
Absract7 was correct I have a pair of QuestZs & they were tortuing an Adcom 125wpc amp. I went to A Krell KAV250a & I got much better sound & they handle the Logans with ease. Since you already have a Classe preamp why not try one of t... 
Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ?
Reverend Joe in a nutshell they said it was on better than the top the line Sony which is now steeply discounted. This was the opinion of two very experienced reviewers who spent time comparing it on two different systems. 
Marantz SA-1 SACD player....worth it ?
Read the review of this unit in the latest issue of Ultimate Audio which pulls no punches. 
Which Solid State amp 2k used? Krell?
Jeff: I am powering a pair of Quest Zs with a Krell KAV 250A & I get an excellent sound & have plenty of power. If there is such a thing as a Krell bargin this is it. 
Best preamp under 5k for Krell amp
I have M.L. Quest Zs with Krell amp & cd. I have had Sonic Frontiers Line 1,2,3 in my system with excellent results. All are listed on this site for less than 5K. I am now using the Line 3 & sold my Line 1 to a friend who has a pair of Seq... 
cables for martin logan prodigies
Synergistic Research Resolution Reference has done more for my Logans than anything else I have tried. They are detailed ,musically involving & non fatiguing.

Next ? Is DVD audio as good as CD?
My cd system consists of a Krell 300cd with Synergistic Research Resolution Reference cables including the power. The interconnect is actively shielded. So I have in excess of 6k$ deicated to cd playback. I recently purchased a JVC-D 723 DVD playe...
