If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers?
Here's attempt number 3; maybe this one will go through. HEY BILL, sorry about my reply. I was being a jerk and didn't addanything to the post. 
Vandersteen 2CE Vs. Von Schweikert VR-2100
Walstib, I have a pair of 2ci, not the ce sigs so I don't know how the two compare, but, I don't care much for them. They do have great bass, they don't fatigue me and they do some magic tricks but I prefer more detail and pin point imaging, which...

Baran, I posted a reply lastnight saying that I'm sorry for my previous post but it didn't go through, so here goes again: i'm sorry I was being a jerk. That was a lame response from me. 
If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers?
Lol, sorry B, I can be a d... When I'm drinking whiskey. You're right, you ought to just be quiet if you're not adding to the forum. My bad :-) I'm the same way anyways when it comes to buying stereo equipment. It's all about getting the best deal... 
Whats my weak link?
First off, scratch that decco idea; not what I'm looking for.Hey Mezmo! Thanks for the reply. It's hard to explain what it is that I'm looking for in terms of sound because I'm relatively new to all this audio stuff. Basically, sometimes my set-up... 
Whats my weak link?
Do you guys think a peachtree decco would be a big upgrade over the ssp25 in terms of a pre amp? 
Whats my weak link?
You all rock!! Thank you to everyone trying to help me out here. I suspect it's a combination of things: pre amp, room treatments and power cords. I think pre amp because the difference in sound is noticeable even at very low volumes. I played wit... 
Whats my weak link?
Ps, again, Jmcgrogan, what pre amp would you recommend? I can probably try my buddies to see if that's partly responsible. I've read reviews stating that the classe ssp 25 isn't that great for a 2 ch. pre. 
Whats my weak link?
Lol Jmcgrogan, I know I move too fast alot of the time, but I don't know that I'll ever enjoy that song. Thanks Mapman! I think I'm going to try some powercords first and I will try a power conditioner for everything except my amp also. 
Whats my weak link?
Ps, Chuck, Bro, I know now that I am flying blind. I thought that the sound that I didn't like was because of my speakers. You hear from some people that speakers make the biggest difference in sound; I didn't believe that so much before but now I... 
Whats my weak link?
I will try to get my buddy, Steve (who I bought the kefs from) , to bring over a couple of pieces of equipment. He was on the next level, compared to me and my system (5 yrs of obsessing vs. 9 months). He really has had numerous power cords, condi... 
If not B&W 802 speakers then what speakers?
Lol, I love how he says he's tired of waiting for a pair to come up locally, then is offered a pair and says sorry, but I can get them locally for $6500. Well if you can get them locally for $6500 why dont you? Oh yeah, because you cant. If you co... 
Need Advice on Amp Setup w Vandies--Arcam/Bryston
Yep, just got a pair of 2ci's last week (sellin them this week, that's just they way I am) and experienced first hand that bi-wire is the way to go. Big big difference. 
Listener fatigue: what does it really mean?
Bonhamcopeland and Mezmo, thank you, you made my night. That was great!Robsker, that's something I haven't thought about yet it is so true. Thanks for another insight on listener fatigue. 
Sound Exposure and Potential Hearing Loss
Great topic Lears. Thank you all for the good info. If I knew better in my days when I used to go to "parties" and listen to music at what must have been over 100db at least, for 6-8 hours straight I would've been wearing ear plugs. Hindsight is a...
