Need your help finding a pair of speakers.........

Hi Ginas, I have a couple of suggestions... The first is professional room treatment, as has already been suggested. The second is dedicated power, if you don't already have it. I'd look at LAK and CINCIBOB's systems here on Audiogon. If you go with a dedicated subpanel, I'd go with a Square D QO subpanel box and breakers. The QO designation is just a commercial box and breakers at not much more money than the cheaper residential model. Make sure that your Romex wire is large enough. I'd go with 10 gauge from subpanel to duplex outlets and 2 to 6 gauge for your run to the subpanel--depending on the length of the run. Also try this, this is after talking to SEAN on Audiogon and trial and error on my part. Have your electrician do the following to the wiring inside your subpanel box: 1.) For ground-- On your ground bus bar-have the digital closest to your ground exit from subpanel (digital grounds first), then the preamp, and finally the amp(s). 2.) For Hot/Black--Have the power go to the amp(s) first, then the preamp and finally digital last. The same goes for the White/ Neutral-starting at where the Neutral enters the box at it's bus bar--amp(s) first, then preamp, then digital last. I know that it's hard to believe, but it made a huge difference in sound with my system. For my system, this gave me the best dynamics, detail, clarity, and lowest noisefloor. When some of the order was changed from what I suggested earlier, the sound was either aggressive or dull, depending on the order of things. I know I'll hear about this from some of the Audiogon members, but this is what worked best for my system. As to your speaker choice, I haven't heard enough of those fine speakers to really comment. I am kind of partial to the MBL 101e's, but I don't know how they match with CJ stuff. French Fries made a good point about wiring. The cables that I've seen matched with the Andra II's most often are Acoustic Zen, Nordost, and Transparent. I know from phone conversations with Egglestonworks that they use both, Nordost Valhalla or some type of Transparent cabling, in their in-house audio room. Also, Halcro is Egglestonwork's choice of amps for the audio shows that they attend. Hope this helped. Best wishes. Stan

Correction to 12/27/06 post: First, I'd like to say that part of my post should have gone under Tech Talk and shouldn't have been piggybacked on this thread... Second, After looking under the hood of my subpanel, I realized that the order of my grounding was different than what is stated above. It should read--For ground- the order should be amp(s) first, then preamp, then digital. The amps ground first. The amps receive power first. This is the best combination that I found to work with my Pass Labs 600.5 amps and Egglestonworks Andra II speakers. From Camus, a french folk blues acoustic resonator guitar artist, to Yes's Fragile, everything sounds the most balanced and extended throughout the frequency spectrum. The music is very dynamic, musical, and 3 dimensional. As I said before, I'm surprised that the wiring order made any difference at all... but it does... and of course everything should be on the same phase. Sorry for the confusion. Have a healthy and prosperous year all! Stan
