Better speaker value here?
Thanks Teeshot. Exactly the kind of response I was after. What was it about the V3's that you preferred to the Salon2's? Also, the speakers will need to pull dbl duty in my HT. Does Magico even make a center channel? 
Better speaker value here?
Thanks for all replies. I would love to hear from someone that has heard both the 1's and the 2's and could speak to the issue of how much the 1's give up to the 2's in terms of overall performance. Even at $10K, the 2's are quite a chunk of chang... 
Better speaker value here?
Thank you for your response. I have a line on a pair of 2's that is close enough to 10K. I don't find the looks of the 1's to be so awful. Just my opinion. 
I need advice/opinions for a nice bedroom system
Great ideas folks, Linn Classik seems to be a popular choice here, and I did not know about the alarm clock--that is too cool. Pboutin and I are on a very similar page. Thanks to everyone, and keep em' coming! Dave 
Need advice for CDP selection
Hey Bill, I recognized your screen name from our earlier talks on the subject. I think you can probably guess which side of the fence I fall on (EMC-1)! For other's knowledge, WVICK and I had established a deal for the purchase of my EMC-1 mk2 whe... 
What amps do you use with your Revel Salons/Studio
Hello, here's a vote for keeping the Powermaster. I have a PM 2000 as well, and fwiw, I think you will be hard pressed to do better for equivalent money, and even for quite a bit more. I ran a pair of studios with the EAD to tremendous results, an... 
EMC-1 MkII
Ernie, first of all, why do we always assume masochism is such a bad thing? Experiment yourself into a heated frenzy I always say. Do the comparison now, so that your insights relative to the SPM vs. Essence IC swapping could be used as data for t... 
Who services EAD equipment now
Ahhh...EAD... You just made me nostalgic for my old Signature 5.1. Sniff-sniff. :-) 
Audio Research CD3 vs Electrocompaniet EMC 1
Kubrickorange, I would think a fair used price on an EMC-1 mk2 (without latest upgrade would be around 2600-2800. I shopped the heck out of the used machines on a-gon a few months back, and finally purchased a true 9/10 24/192 unit (w/o latest upg... 
Is a offer of -20 percent on an OBO ad insulting?
Ditto Herman and Bundus. 
Best sounding CD player for 6,000.
Another vote for EMC-1 mk 2. 
Talon Khorus x or B&W 802
Mike, or anyone, have you heard the sim/EMC/Edge/Talon combo with the Edge NL10? Do you think that the sound would be that much better than w/ 8? Seriously looking at the 10. 
Talon Khorus x or B&W 802
Hey Mike, just interested why you liked the Edge, Sim, EMC combo the best? I bet it is incredible. BTW, echoing earlier posts, your input (dealer or not) is always most appreciated, and I would also add that as a dealer, your previous responses to... 
Do I need a new pre-amp?
Thanks to all who replied. Unfortunately, 6chac, the EMC does not have a separate volume control, or I would definitely go direct. And, as unbelievable as it may be Islandflyfisher, the Signature does not have an analog pass through, which really ... 
EAD PM 2000 or Theta Dread?
Jimmy, you are 110% correct in your observations regarding the Pm 2000 killing the top end of the def techs. Their amp section always gave ground to the burly EAD piece. I want away from the powered main concept, and onto a speaker design that wil...
