Altec A7 yay or nay?
Very familiar with the Altecs, and have owned the Khorns and am a Klipsch Heritage fanatic. In a home environment, imo and ime the Khorns are much better. I believe you also own other horns, if I am not mistaken ( Oris ). Enjoy ! MrD. 
Looking for more transparency.
A year ago, to achieve greater transparency in my main system, I rid myself of two top preamps ( both imo, superior to your PV11 in transparency ) and went passive. I am only saying this because it has worked for me. There are debates, considerati... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Techno, you are proving your ignorance and lack of knowledge when it comes to electrostatic design, which go pretty far back in time when they became available on the market. Electrostats are some of the most transparent of all speakers ( even tho... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Faxer ( Steve ), you are the dealer you speak of. It would benefit you to stay off a thread like this. You are being negative of electrostatics, and in this case, of an 80K pair of speakers and promoting your own carried product. You have done thi...

Amps from the 1980's -- What gear holds up sonically? Reliably?
HEA=High End Audio. I have had so much gear in my lifetime. What is interesting was / is the transition of the " hard wired " power cords on most of this vintage equipment, to the now widely use of IEC inlets. One of the many tweaks I did on all o... 
Speaker vibration control device
Look up on Amazon = Rubber Door Stopper / Bumpers. $10 for package of 4. Originally to prevent door knob damage to walls. I use them on many items. Enjoy ! MrD. 
i am starting to think Audiogon profits off the spam...
I have been reporting these as spam, and move on. No big deal. I still get marketing calls on my cell, and I have protections / walls to prevent them. MrD. 
Isolation footers for Rega Elicit, Saturn-R
I have been using for many years, " Rubber Door Stopper / Bumpers ", originally sold for the purpose of providing wall protection from door knobs. Also great for under bookshelf speakers, speakers on stands, and floor speakers on non carpeted floo... 
Is there an rca input selector box audio only 2ch in 1 out?
The Bay is the place to look. I am sure you can find one there. 
Reco for a low power amp to try
BTW, If a dealer will not do a loan, offer to rent it for a day. I have done it in the past.

P.S. The new Pass Sit 3 is 18 wpc into 8 ohms, not 8, and is $4K. 
Reco for a low power amp to try
To the OP. Reading some of your other threads and posts, it seems you change equipment often ( I am sorry ). Your Proacs are 89 db. You like Pink Floyd a bit loud ( although, probably not as loud as myself ). The Klipsch Heresys mentioned by the a... 
Nuforce STA200
Removed my last post because it was about another amplifier, rather than the STA 200. Sorry for not keeping the thread on track. Enjoy ! MrD. 
Older or Modern amp for older Speakers (NHT 3.3)
When I had my 3.3s, I vertically biamped them, passively, with a pair of Hafler 9505s that were modified by Musical Concepts. Significantly more energy, detail and dynamics than a single amp. The 3.3s benefit from biamping…...Enjoy ! MrD.
