One more BI-WIRE question
So, why don't you try bi-wiring the SF's and let us know what the results are? 
Solution for TV between speakers?
PS: FPeel: I located the plastic polish company on the web today and they are still in business (the old phone # was no longer good). I will pick up a bottle the next time we go down to the South Bay. I could not locate the old thread, and will ju... 
Solution for TV between speakers?
I use a lot of non-audiophile items in our living room to compensate for reflective surfaces. The wall behind the speakers is solid books from 12 inches from the floor to a half a foot from the ceiling. The bookshelves are shallow 5" standards and... 
Mapleshade versus Stealth
Hi Tom: I have a Mapleshade digital cable on order. I will not be able to form an opinion on it for quite some time as their are too many items that have changed in my system lately (new speakers plus added a DAC). Since the new DAC is why I purch... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
Speaking of buzz words: Where is Sluggo? Did he go underground? 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
Hi Khokugo: $800.00 plus seems to be the going used price right now. I think that the list price is around $1300.00. If you search the web under "Bel Canto" and hifi you should be able to locate their website that will give you the specs as well a... 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
Hi Rute: Don't follow my lead because I am clueless when it comes to digital cables. This is the first time that I will have used one. I received recommendations for Illumination 60, the top of the line Wireworld and Nordost cables and a $300.00 T... 
Integrated for around 1K to match with..
Congratulations Dragon! Should be wonderful with your ACI's. Hope you don't have to eat too many Po' Boys to pay it off. LOL. Let us know how it works out. 
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers
Thanks Dragon. The Vandersteen fabric is not very transparent (visualy), I wonder what the trick of the weave is? I have witnessed people using "whatever" replacement fabric in the 70's on KLH and AR speakers with not so good sonic results. I wond... 
WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)and Speakers
Ekmaia: No, sorry I don't. I would assume that the fabrics that they use are made exclusively for their ties. I own five of their paisley ties, because I like the fabric, which is why this particular company came to mind when making my little joke... 
"Krell" is a buzzword
Boy David99: The next worse mistake that you can make in Hi-fi (other than buying a Krell) is to own a Pass amp. Dumping it is the way to go (and we are talking in the trash here), trust me on this... Is this the type of post that you are referrin... 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
I have not hooked it up yet as I am still waiting for my digital cable to arrive. I listened to the same model (DAC 1) in a friends system hooked up to an old Marantz player and it made a major improvement. It increased the amount of detail but at... 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
PS: Your player is the reccomended mate to my Bel Canto DAC, I believe. How bad could it be? 
Best Integrated for SF Signum?
Khokugo: Search this site using "sub" or "subwoofer" as a key word, there is a lot of info on the subject. I just looked up your speakers at Audioreview.com and it looks like most of the owners do use subs. I try to avoid switching more than one t... 
Is Bigger Better?
I have a digital cable on order from Mapleshade that would be considered "tiny" and definatly not "big". If tiny also sounds good another benefit of "light" cables is that they do not tend to interfear (as much) with any isolation components that ...
