Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?
Jaybo: interesting point. Is the issue of resolution one that we should care about then? if the complete concert is about 200MB (thus about 120MB per 1 hour CD), how can this be an "audiophile" recording? I think I am missing sthg here. I like you... 
Should a good system sound bad with bad recording?
Slappy, my friend is actually a Chef in a respected restaurant in Montreal so I will pass your comment to him, I am sure this will wipe the residual smile he may have thinking my system is mediocre!!! 
Triangle Titus 202 Opinions?
It it weren't for the wine he had over dinner with Arnaud (Triangle's owner), Tellig would have never made a big fuss about the Titus IMHO. They are the perfect example of incomplete speaker-design which shortcomings (and theere are many) give the... 
CD player for my system?
Quad 99 CDP, quite analog and you can resell your TAD preamp. 
ProAc Ref 8 vs. 8 Signature vs 1S vs 1SC
Tomryan, I am from Montreal and never worked in audio! Thanks for the advice, I have set my mind on the 1SC as I found a local pair at a real price and in the finish I wanted. I was set on the Sig 8 since they appeared to be a "better value" but c...

No harm done, your last post is very useful.Tks 
ProAc Ref 8 vs. 8 Signature vs 1S vs 1SC
How different are the post above from a total highjacking of a thread? 
Best Classical Music for Sonus Faber Stradivari
You can try Gary Karr Double Bass album for a mix, the double bass should be "to die for" on your SF. 
ProAc Ref 8 vs. 8 Signature vs 1S vs 1SC
Thanks but I believe you missed the point....I am asking to comment on the different ProAc models, not on amplifiers. Is my post confusing, sorry? Tks anyway! 
What SS Int Amp to match with Sonus Faber?
I second the SF Musica, to die for, let alone with SF speakers, to rescucitate for. I had it for a week with my SF Concerto and SF Signum and it was unreal...but out of my budget at the time. I went with a used YBA DT instead, great match but not ... 
Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500
If you are in Canada as I am, Focus Audio 688, Totem Mani 2 or Gershman X1 should come around used and they would do the job damn right. Check Stereophile this month for a review of Paradiogm Reference as well. 
Looking for the king of mini monitors under $1500
What about SF Signum? they go for about $1500 used and they are just well above the rest in your list IMHO.... 
totem arro or rainmaker or von schweikert vr1
Another great match with Arros is Monarchy Audio SM-70. You can start with one (25wpc Class A). I had one with my Arros and loved it, plenty of juice and power. If needed, you can buy a second one and go mono for less than $600 both but I seriousl... 
totem arro or rainmaker or von schweikert vr1
the synergy Arros and tube is tough to match with a SS amp, the transparency combined with holographic image is unbelievable. I would buy a tube integrated - fully "new-to-used" depreciated and then see by myself. Check Radii's products from the T...
