| Is There any Truly "High End" Integrated Amp? You could always get the Burmester 032 for $15,000.The McIntosh MA6900 is quite similar sounding though and a lot less money. You have to mate it with the right speakers however. | |
| Great sounding close to back wall speakers. With a good EQ, just about any speaker can be close to back wall. | |
| Who else prefers 5751s and why? Gotta get the black plates - they are even better than the gray ones. Triple mica is also an improvement. | |
| Speakers in the range of $3 to $4.5k per pair? JM Lab Electras would be a good match if you like B&W sound. | |
| B&W or JM labs As a former B&W owner and current JM Lab owner, I agree with Arnold's assessment. The JM Labs are all about the music although I really like the 803D. I also prefer the looks of the JM Labs and their build quality seems to be a notch above B&a... | |
| Mcintosh C45 + MC252 They are a great combo. Both pieces are fantastic but I would suggest you get the C46 instead so you can do some room correction - that will make a huge difference. They will be a better match with Wilsons than SFs IMO.Arthur | |

| Focal Electra Be 937's placement ...almost facing each other? So you look at their sides when seated? I decided on the toe in of my 926s by using a test CD and SPL meter. The results coincided with my listening tests in terms of the compromise between soundstage width and image p... | |

| Reviews with all double blind testing? The answer is clear: 161 posts! you people crack me up. | |
| Ikea batteries went sour The Germans put a stop on battery pollution. haha | |
| Shouldn't amp reviews employ multiple speakers? Yep, but it isn't practical to have several pairs of speakers with the same room acoustics - esecially when dealing with 200+ lb speakers. But then you can go farther and dispute the fact that an amp review should be tried with several preamps, se... | |
| System Synergy What kind of sound do you like? You are part of the system... | |
| Why does my laptop annoy me less than my rig? Sounds to me like you have the wrong components. You need to do more experimenting to find something you like. I know Classe and Paradigm Reference series well - I sugguest you give McIntosh a try. My typical complaint is that a lot of hifi gear i... | |
| Billboard's awards .....yikes Most people value sight over hearing. We are the few exceptions. |
