All time favorite speaker cables
So far in my journey its the Kubala Sosna Elation followed closely by the emotion. Both these cables just produce natural magic and tone definition and detail with very quite back-ground.

does atma-sphere even make solid state amps. I don't see any on there web page. I have a hard time believing that they copied anything but maybe tried to take a amp or pre that they liked and see what is inside and how they can improve upon it, pe...

Atmasphere,I'd love to hear you guys stuff as I've become a fan suddenly of the simplicity. I checked and didn't see a dealer in GA. Your stuff looks nice and I'm sure it is wonderful. Maybe I will get to hear at rmaf this year.

Well the setup guy came he saw he kicked butt. Indeed money was well spent getting this guy in to place my speakers. He was most impressed with my room and setup and said I am definitely achieving the maximum potential of my speakers. He has never...

Indeed it does and I know lots of manufacturers that test others to find out what they like and or dislike about a unit and will test it in the design stages. Its good to test your competition and see how you compare. I also remember reading a rev... 
Need Some Advice regarding interconnects
congrats on choosing your cables, good luck on the power cords. Do you use any conditioning?

Well there I went again, moving things and again no tape, now it is terrible, bloomy bass. Will have to work in the morning to get it back in place. I moved several things this time, chair, speakers, and acoustic things, haaa.. Now I got a mess of...

Der, I will have to look at the cd's but most stuff is only about 13 to 14 feet wide. That said some classical like Beethoven and stuff with orchestra can get much wider and sound like some parts are coming from way out to right or left and or ver... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I should point out that I am not saying in my post above that the %%% I spent was a planned attack or a method of someone else putting something together. I did no planning when I did this system. I just bought what I wanted. I sat and figured the...

However big, however small, forward or deep, it just has to work well and remain musical so it can be enjoyed. Don't get an impression to quick on a stage that is different than you are use to as anything you hear that is different can take some a... 
Biamping question.
Not all amps can do this. Even amps that can simply go from Stereo to Mono may not be able to go to another mono amp to double the power yet again. BAT is one of the amps that can do this. Geoff Poor explained it to me but this was on the phone an... 
Your definition of soundstage
This is very interesting to read and learn. I've had several systems and have enjoyed several really different stages. My old system had a very good stage that was more from speaker to front wall and the further I set that stage to be back of the ... 
Biamping question.
I don't know if you can do this with vtl but I own bat and instead of biamping for me I can get two more bat amps and double my power turning my 600 watt mono blocks into 1200 watt mono blocks. As I understand it not all amps can do this, depends ... 
BAT Solid State Amplifiers
BAT lean, nope... I fell in love with bat the first time I heard it about 7 months ago. I heard the new REX tube amp at 80 watts a channel with the REX pre and come home and sold my entire Mcintosh C500T, Mc2301, setup and I now have a totally new... 
Looking for reasonably priced sound diffusion.
ASC cool traps are new and what I used. I can't remember the price but that come in quanities of 16 and are 1 foot square. It seems to me they were like $300 or so for 16 but I could be terribly wrong. They look good though when placed together in...
