| Speaker suggestions to go with MAC gear please i also own the 2102. I love it. I suspect you will lean more to the Tannoys over the B&W. Also, see if there is a local KEF dealer. At this stage, I am leaning marginally toward the new Kefs even over the Tannoy. I won't be making my decision ... | |

| running wire in walls/floor ABS can work. also, there is a flexible conduit that is a blue/green color that is often added to new construction and add-ons. this way someone can pull whatever he wants as times change. someday we will be pulling fibre optics for phone service ... | |
| Tube Replacement Advice Try asking the Manley folks. I understand they will take the time to talk to you. | |

| What kind of power wakes up electrostatic speakers I own a pair of Acoustat selp-powered speakers and i do love them. I will not be upgrading before I check out the latest electrostatic speakers. | |

| What does a pre amp do I use my Audio Aero CD player in place of a preamp. I am of the opinion that, unless you are playing vinyl, the standard preamp is of minimal value. Really well-mixed CDs require almost no treble/bass adjustments, especially since the Audio Aero s... |
