| Totem Forest or Hawk -Help I can probably get the speakers about 16-18" from front wall. Can't do much with the sides. I probably could roll them out on the "Claws" when doing serious listening. I'll have too play around with the position.Don't the corners re-enforce the ba... | |
| Totem Forest or Hawk -Help Based upon my speaker placement, see System photo, would the Forest or Hawk give me the best overall results?I have no problem driving either of these,have plenty of power. | |
| Recommended Amp for B&W cdm 9nt I recently purchased a McIntosh MC252 for my B&W CDM7NT's.This 250 watt SS amp really has the power to drive the B&W's the way they were intended. These speakers need loads of current to really open up. The MAC amp is pretty neutral, with ... | |

| Sub for Totem model 1 I would highly recommend the Totem Lightning sub. I friend of mine has this sub in conjunction with the Totem Tabu speakers. Fantastic sounding combo. Used price is around $800-900. I wouldn't go with anything less for your Model 1 speakers. Save ... | |

| Importance of Power Conditioner? How's the VAC???I use a Panamax 5300 for all the low current electronics; preamp, DAC, transport, etc.The amp gets plugged directly into the wall. This being a dedicated 20A line.I definitely noticed a difference between using a PC with the amp an... | |

| Tube amp/preamp for B&W CDM 9NTs I agree with Rhljazz.I had VAC pre and PA100/100 driving B&W CDM 7NT.Great sounding combo.You would be hard pressed to better the reliablity and customer service of VAC. | |
| Does Sony DVP-S9000ES Feeds Digital Out For CD? It also outputs true 24/96, enabled by on-screen menu.The 9000ES makes an excellent transport, with the right DAC. I currently use an EAD 7000 III. | |
| did my wife harm my speakers? How old is the Proceed PRE? I had one from 1997 and it always changed my TV volume and PRE volume. Madrigal has an upgraded chip to fix this. I contacted them and they sent the chip to me and I installed it myself. Contact them. This is a known pr... | |
| Stereo amp to drive one center channel speaker? I had an Acurus A150 that I used for my center channel for awhile. I just used one channel (right)input and connected speaker to that side. Don't hook up anything to the unused side. Should work fine. You may want to consult with the manufacturer ... | |
| Questions on the Camelot Arthur 3.0 Mk.II?? I had one for about 3 months. I found the sound to have a harsh/shrill character in the upper mid range and treble, and to be extremely resolving and detailed. This was being used with tube equipment even.I even tried it with the Dragon anti-jitte... | |
| Best CCR album? Overall, prefer Green River. It has a darker, moodier feel to it. It does not contain Suzy Q, that is on CCR's first album (sorry, Twl).If you want a good beginning CCR album, I would go with Willy and the Poor Boys. I love Fortunate Son.Hope this... |
