| Tool to create professional IEC chassis cut-out... When the chassis for your component is made, ALL of the holes are punched on a press before the material is bent to shape. Even a very small punch press is a bit much for the DIYer (not even mentioning the cost to make the punch/die in the shape o... | |

| OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS - quick follow up to my lst post - was just on Ebay and saw a pair of Hales Concept 5s for 1500. Might be worth a look. | |
| OPINIONS Best FULL RANGE used speaker for SS In your price range the 801/802 are excellent choices (room size MUST be a factor when considering the 801). Look around for some Hales Trancendence 3 or 5. Parts availability is an issue if you ever break them, but the current market should allow... | |
| Best Used Integated 1400 for B&W CDM1NT's Look into the Classe CAP-150. Theatre integration is a snap and you will get the same power as the Krell with a much smoother sound. Used prices are around a grand, leaving room for some Kimber wires (wonderful match for your speakers). I just sol... | |

The original WATT speakers were notoriously difficult to drive due to a HUGE impedance dip in the lower registers ... not as much a problem when used with a sub and active Xover, av... | |

| Who's at fault? When a retailer is willing to let you contact the manufacturer direct, he is usually at the end of his rope. Depending on his relationship with the manufacturer, he may not be able to get near as snotty with them as you can. In my own past retail ... | |
| How BIG is yours? 600 CDs and a few hundred LPs. Although I have been very focused on equipment changes as of late, software is a top concern most of the time. More important than the software though is going out to live concerts!! Actually hearing the Opera at the... | |
| Recommended integrated for B&W 802? I just switched to a Classe CAP-150 with my Hales Rev 3s. I am very impressed. I recently spent a couple of hours with N804s and some Classe amps and was also very pleased with the results. The CAP seems to have gobs of current and has plenty of t... | |
