Puritan vs Nordost Power Cable
How much do you want for the QB4? Those work best when connected to the QX4. Not much of story on its own. 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
I don't think I would let raul in my house. 
Zu Soul Supreme with Leben CS300xs (or Harbeth XX.X?)
Avgonzalez77 I sold the 300x because my goal was to keep my Nines for a while and try some subs to add weight and maybe keep them for a few years before going to the O/93. The 300 was my intro to Leben and I ended up with 600 for a couple of years...

@Ozzy62, I've never owned a BAT product, but have owned VAC, Leben, ARC, Mastersound, Joule (pre). What are some of your favorites (as we wait to see if this unit gets the boot)?  
Zu Soul Supreme with Leben CS300xs (or Harbeth XX.X?)
I've owner the 300x and the CS600 both awesome amps. These amps are not that poweful and do run out of steam if the speakers asks for more than they can handle. Better get answer before getting the speakers. I've heard that Zu speakers are very ef...

Ozzy I think we all face the diemna on this site of trusting each others ears, experience, intentions and motivations. Now we have someone like cliff that adds a whole new dimension. Is this company his friends? This is one of the few industries w... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
I have to agree with cliff12, even though he lobbed his billboard into a thread he has no interest in, as Ozzy mentioned, that at a certian level of committment the serious audiophile must get serious about the room. In my experience most well fur... 
Class D for a Tube Lover
SPEC but they are not cheap. 
I just bought a Steinway which sounds like a banjo.
Jackleiss’ first comment is the best ever. To think some of these guys post none sense 50 times per day.

SPEC from Japan. Not cheap but real deal. 
Gripped By Upgrade Fever
I'd recommend keeping a speaker for at least 6 months to learn from it unless you just don't like it and don't listen to it. For me this amount of time allows me to hear other speakers and identify sharp contrasts. YMMV. Do some reading about effi...

Anyone compare the Cornwall to the orangutans? 
Gershman Studio 2
I've been enjoying these speakers more than I anticipated. If anyone reads this, can you post some electronics preferences with Gershman. I appreiciate Jabs impressions of the VAC. I've had a few VAC amps over the years and they've been great. 
Moving up the Harbeth line
UPS bashed a pair of speakers. Fedex left a subwoofer out on my lawn in the rain. I think they are all really feeling the extra workload from this year. Second set of speakers came through Fedex flawless. 
Tannoy cheviot vs Arden what should I expect from each?
I've always been curious about these same two Tannoy's and hopefully can hear them in New England some day.  I considered buying a pair but despite the 15  and 12 inch woofer they only go to 35 and 38hz. Some people say you won't miss the bass but...
