Amplification for Wilson Watt Puppy 7s or 8s
Many of the current show reports have raved over the WP with a full BAT setup. I think it was in the Absolute Sound that one of the reviewers who was not normally a Wilson fan was wowed over the combination. The BAT premps especially the latest cr... 
Vandersteen 5a or Krell Lat-1's
You allready bought the LATs and now you are interested in Vandys? Play the LATS live with them and then if you are unhappy you can move to something else.The Lat is a far superior product to the Vandys in terms of construction and build quality. ...

Anyone go without power conditioning
It depends on a lot of things. I too have dedicated lines and I find power conditioning makes a huge difference. I have tried the Audience, as well as Shunyata, Exact Power, and many others. The Audience was very good, and bested all others except... 
When did Musical Fidelity start making stuff in...
several years ago. However, this is in line with many high end companies including JM Labs, Krell, Kef, Cary Audio, Wharfdale, Quad, B&W, etc.Most US and European companies do this with most of their models up their reference lines.Quite frank... 
Gallos how good are they?
The Gallos are indeed excellent and represent a bargan for their price, however they have their caveats.The image height is a bit low, the the extreme treble is polite, they do throw a very panoramic image.
