| Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades ..just as an aside.....VPI's Harry W has KEF's in house as his evaluative system. | |
| Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other??? I heard the Merrill.....wonderful.....you really wouldn't know it was Class D. Smooth, delicate, powerful, expensive. | |

| Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER? The first really good hi end speaker (one)I ever heard was a corner loaded large Klipsch... the demo record (maybe 1958 mono) was Marche Slave (Tschaikovski)... turned me instantly into an audiophile. | |

| Stereo pre-amps with dual outs for bi-amping and a subwoofer line out Yes ...however, better sound can be had using only one pair of preamp out connections. Listen carefully and hear a smaller soundstage and less dynamic contrast. Also using 1 amp of a higher quality is better than bi-amping otherwise. | |
| Isn't a wondeful time to be an audiophile? it really helps to have a stuffed wallet. | |
| Not Enjoying My Turntable If you don't know your way around this stuff, I would bring the t/t to a dealer for a look through. | |
| KLH Kendall Speakers vs Vandersteen 2CE Sigs I would call John Rutan at AudioConnection in New Jersey.....talk on the phone for a couple of minutes and get his take.....John knows everything about this stuff..... | |
| Krell Kct vs Audio Research Ref 2 or 3 You should listen to Ayre as well | |
| From tubes to SS amp : Ayre, Belles, Pass or else ? I've always been a fan and own Ayre equipment. Great service if needed. The Ayre sound is a great cross between tubes and s/s | |
