| What amplifier for Harbeth HL-5? Glad the Harbeths have worked out for you. Your findings seem to mirror mine, even though our systems are different. | |

| Tube Amp to play with my B&W 803D I've heard the Mcintosh 2301 tube monoblocks with the 802D speakers. I was not the biggest fan of B&W speakers, but this combo made me re-think that opinion. Very nice together. | |

| Here's a real cool toe tapper Thanks, very nice. | |

| cambridge audio 840c vs. modwright 9000es/999es Your making the right choice! Modwright over the 840. A cheap upgrade are the GE 7044 tubes. | |

| 02 x bat vk55 monoblocks an overkill for Harbeth? Neither would be overkill. I would go for the pr. of 55s. | |
| Eggleston Andra IIIs at CES Vx700, Great minds think alike ;-) I also think the new look is very nice. Enjoy your new speakers, and look forward to your impressions. | |

Black to ground on either channel. Mine is on left but dont think it matters. If you need any help email m... | |
| Hooking up a REL Sub to a preamp that has 1 preout I agree with Rhljazz, connect your REL to the amplifier if you want to get the best out of it. |
