| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? I know Paul Folbrecht used those amps with his Audio Notes.I have a pair of George Wright Signature AU-15 (2A3) monoblocks I am going to try, as well as the Pass Labs XA-60.5.There are many options. | |

| Skylan vs. Sound Anchor speaker stands? Comments? 10-31-09: GrannyringI would think the dealer knows the various kinds of stands that work best and how each may impact the speakers sound.Clearly, Audio Note has a vested interest in recommending their stands, but some Audio Note owners have report... | |

| Zu or Harbeth 10-27-09: SwampwalkerHanalemkie & Tvad- I'm confused. Are you talking about Vandy 3A Sigs or Reference 3A Grand Vennas?I was referring to the Vandersteen 3A Signatures, and I mistakenly called them 3A Reference. Sorry. | |

| Zu or Harbeth Sorry, the above should state, "...and if amplification type was *not* a consideration...". | |
| Zu or Harbeth 10-27-09: HanaleimikeReally? considering the price difference, I would think either would be a huge upgrade. I have heard all three speakers. I heard the 3A Reference in Steve McCormack's system, where he voices all of his products. Of all three s... | |
