Too good to be true?
who cares where it came from,if its a good deal then go for it,if you bought the gear legaly then you have nothing to loose except a good deal by wasting time worring instead of buying. 
McIntosh & Klipsck RF-7's
ive ran klipsch/mcintosh rigs with both tube & solid state mac amps,what matrix is telling you i also believe to be true.sensitivity of klipsch speakers is in my experience to be a false pointer leading people down all the wrong roads,i own he... 
McIntosh MC300 or Odyssey Stratos?
so you dont think im a mac basher just trying to slam mac i'll point out that im a huge mcintosh fan & my rig is all mcintosh gear.as far as i can figure is that when people describe mac amps as being very close to the "tube sound" it comes fr... 
A question on a B&W high pass filter
the high pass filter is an eq that is preset for all 800 series speakers.its been a while since i used one but i do believe that it gives a better bass response,i cant imagine not trying it out before you sell it off ? high pass filters only sell ... 
McIntosh MC300 or Odyssey Stratos?
i agree with jaybo,i owned 3 mc300's & while they were decent solid state amps they were not the best amps mac has made,i also tried running a mc300 with a passive pre & i hated it. 
How to upgrade a nondetachable power cord?
what are you expecting a new power cord to do in terms of an upgrade ?the cj amp has a captive pc for a reason,you will not be doing your amp a favor by hacking a hole in it for an aftermarket pc. 
A rather funny survey from a research company ....
hack.haha,a 3 ft interconnect:) 
Did I really need a sub woffer in the first place?
put your sub where your listening chair is then get down on the floor & crawl around the room until you find where the bass response sounds the best then put your sub there.it works pretty good. 
From Krell to McIntosh - Anyone?
ive owned both krell & mac gear,they have huge sonic difference's between them but both make excellent gear,it really boils down to what type sound you prefer. 
Overpriced Tube Amps
thanks for the advice mr zappa. 
confusion about the aragon 28k pre amp
well,under $500 for any pre is an extremely tight budget not to mention needing specific options like tone controls & a remote really limits your options.for $1,000 or a little less there are a bunch with remote & tone but for $500 im draw... 
McIntosh - is it that great?
prozoib, been waitin a year now to see that killer rig of yours,i guess you only give answers. 
confusion about the aragon 28k pre amp
i feel your pain,now days high end manufacturers & most audiophiles believe that the use of tone controls just get in the way of the signal path & does not help the music,adjusting tone is now done by changing exotic cables & speaker w... 
center for polk sda crs+
hmmm,odd idea with the sda's,correct me if im wrong but isnt the whole point of the connecting cable to power the speaker's with a blended left & right signal while the non connected driver's have a normal stereo left & right signal being ... 
Mcintosh C-2200 or Aesthetix Calypso?
im not picking on you but i cant get past how the use of tone controls wouldnt be thought of,the whole out of the signal path deal is absurd to me.buy the c2200 & forget about preamp's for a long time to come:)
