Why bi-wiring is bad
Well maybe my stuff ain't good enough. With no less than 5 different wire purchaces--Where I bought the single run;used the jumpers--latter got the second run of the same wire,EVERY_TIME big improvement.Reminds me of the article about a pre amp de... 
Criminy, I've reached 300 threads
I'm working on enough threads to make a doily.When I get there I plan to use it on top of my dac for improved sound. Can't afford Shun Mook. 
Power Conditioning, Regeneration and Cords
I had one of those Triplights years ago. Stereophile may have run them out of business with their comments.Just about anything will help--lose that sucker.It is sucking your system.Like most of the posters here I think A M Stealth is the way to go... 
Can I
Ok, first off I would have said you have"A mismatch made in heaven" But,that doesn't seem to be the case. Sure a 25wt 845 would be better. Speakers of a kinder impedance would be more optimal. Hey--a long as you enjoy what you have--and don't thin... 
Cable-Help McIntosh-preamp-amp-Shahinian speakers
Have to go with Cardas; They make several at different price points,depending on your budjet. Best thing If you buy wisely you can re sell for near the same dollar 
THX type speakers vs. traditional music speakers
As you may well have found out by now..THX is just a mimimal set of specs(critera). It does set some minimums that are a good thing. However,just because a given speaker has no stinking "badge"--as in THX approval; it says nothing about how said s... 
Collection of buzzwords decribing sound character?
Good stuff Mr. Basement !!--"Liquid",-- comes in a double,leak proof container. Huge "sound-stage" But the shipping on that would be prohibitive. As for "sound -you -can-touch"--- I hope it doesn't touch back.My favorite term for the moment would ...

Regarding a review in the Aug '02 Stereophile...
While there isn't much contained in all the posts above; that I wasn't already aware of--and agree with.--I would like to hear from someone whom has tried HMS VS Au 24. How'z that for world class in a"run on" sentence? 
Does the amp wattage make a big difference?
Not if you're using Audio Research amps.---- Sorry, just couldn't resist that. I'm workng on self control mamagement. Twice the power at low volumes still helps, I think. Having been there and done that I find the presentation seems more effortless. 
Audience Au24 vs Empirical Clarity Speaker Cable
I read--I wonder. I would like to hear some comparisons to other wires. I would like to hear from some of our regulars. How about to a good silver?"Everybody" makes a wire that is a good as Vahalla at 1/2 the price.--Don't ya just love it when tha...

Wolcott Presence 220M system compatiblity?
Angela,I know this is an old post.I also know most everybody knows what you refer to. I guess it is how you put it that fit the moment. Just the right words to describe. Less is more / nobody said it better!!--Least not here. Good fer you babe! 
Use 4 or 8 ohm output on amp for 6 ohm speakers?
Alright, that wasn't good enough for a double post.-- Nor a single one either.
