Krell or Mark Levinson with Revel Ultima2's???
I powered the original Salons with a ML 333 and before that a Krell FPB 300. They were soon taken to task on just the bottom end of the speaker where they did a splendid job. An ARC VT100(1 thru 3) was provided for the lower mids to highs and the ... 
The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones
I remember this "battle" in a 1965 issue of Tiger Beat magazine. Are teenyboppers coming back?Madonna's taking sitar lessons! 
anyone like Nico - Chelsea Girl?
The first girl of Goth. And yes," The End" has some frighteningly good synth effects from Eno. The perfect play for a Halloween night. 
Altec Lansing A7s Back...
I bought a pair in 05 with the initial price of 8000. and 300. shipping. I used to own the Stonehenge 3 in the 70's and yearned for the percussive smack that few high end speakers can produce.I set them up in my 20x30 listening space, and thinking... 
Acoustic Progressive Rock
The very first Genesis album, "From Genesis to Revelations".Also from the same band, another nod to Anthony Phillips including "Sides","Wise after the Event" and,of course,"The Geese and the Ghost".You might like Steve Hackett's solo stuff, such a... 
Music for Riding a Storm Out?
King Crimson's "In the Wake of Poseiden". 
whats the biggest mistake you made?
The purchase of the Wilson Witt; and then the 3000. upgrade to the Witt II. 
Revel Studio Discussion- Everything Studio Here
Ksales, I'm having my dealer come out to replace the two 6 1/2 drivers on my Salon. Rather than chip the red paint (the drivers are a bitch to remove) or ship them, I opted to pay 500. bucks(!) for a service call. The dealer's drive would be about... 
Any Kinergetics SW800 Owners???
I have a pair of these and they have served me well through B+Ws, Wilson and now Revel speakers. The very flexible external x-over can dial in your bass needs to match room and speakers. But, it may take weeks of trial and error for you to achieve...

The Flaming Lips are Go Manifesto
When you discount the lyrics of Pete Sinfield, the world weeps.Welcome to mediocrity. To live, you must first, "snare truth in bone and globe". Ya get that? Nor do I; but don't the trees look nice and full. 
"Peter Gunn" by Mancini: ?other jazz style albums
If you liked "Peter Gunn", you'll love "More Music from Peter Gunn". They were big sellers in the late 50's as they made "Jazz" safe for the suburbs. No improvs or drum solos; just a nice Hollywood version of the West Coast "Cool" sound. Coffee an... 
Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons?
FrankC, Biamping will "relax" the load on your amps while reducing the stress on your speakers. This will provide sonic benefits that stretch across the entire realm of frequencies. There is vertical biamping; by driving one amp(mono) per speaker... 
Best Tube Monoblocks for Revel Ultima Salons?
You might want to try what I do and that is to use a solid state amp on your woofer section and a tube amp on your highs and mid. This way you'll get a powerful well controlled bottom end (depending on the amp), and a warm, dimensional "tube sound... 
The finest technically recorded album. LP or CD
I agree with Viridian. Because the direct to disc recordings are made in "realtime", some "clams" are heard also. That's the charm of some of these LPs. I don't listen much to Big Band, but the "King James Version" by the Harry James Band is astou...
