Integrated Amp comparison
I own the BAT 300x and love it. I compared the BAT vs. Rowland and like the BAT in my system better. Both products are great and most will be very happy with either.

I have owned a couple pairs of Vandersteens in the past and I thought they were great but now own a pair of Tyler Acoustics Lynbrook monitors and they are the best speaker I have ever heard under $10,000 and I have listened to most big name models... 
Electrocompaniet owners
Thanks for all the replies on Electrocompaniet equipment. It seem that there are to many complaints about customer service to be ignored. This says alot about the company. It looks like I will look elsewhere to upgrade my system. Again thanks.

Question for Tyler Acoustic owners.

Audio Research CD3 vs Electrocompaniet EMC 1
I have owned the EMC1 for about a year and it is a great player. The build quality is second to none. I have also listened to the AR CD3 for hours in a complete Audio Research system. The bottom line is this - both are outstanding players and you ... 
Anybody using the Opera Super Pavarotti?
I have listened to them quite extensively. For the money they are quite good. The cabnets are solid wood and outstanding. They are also very attractive. In a small room they could sound very nice provided you have decent equipment. There is very l...

Tyler Ref Monitors vs. Dynaudio 1.3 MK11
I bought a pair of top of the line Lynbrooks from Tyler Acostics and they are the best speakers I have ever heard regardless of price. Ty Lashbrook is fanatical about his products and you can buy with great confidence from Ty. Also the prices he c...
