Dynamics and Microdynamics
I suggest that due to both those being under the B&W umbrella.

Have you tried the Classe/B&W setup together? 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Dear Kevin...spare me all the belittling. It seems you are offended because I didn't like your speakers enough to purchase them and you are allowing this to affect your posts. I am not hiding any facts, as you say; I didn't mention the TDL's as it... 
Have you heard the latest Classe amps???
I have the new (Delta) CA-2200 amp, this amp replaced a Pass X150.5. I had no complaints with the Pass, which has a reputation as a great amp and I concur. Anyway, with the little I compared the two I found them extreemly close, with maybe a touch...

Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet
In talking with JRDG, I am told the new Concerto pre will be very close to the Synergy IIi but without some of the IIi's features, the Synergy IIi has the advantage of the separate power supply. 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Your memory does not serve you well Kevin. First off, forgive me for saying you are out of business, I was just repeating what I have been told by several people locally; and seeing one of your main employees working at the local stereo shop seeme... 
Rowland Concerto - Has anyone heard it yet
French_fries, JRDG makes a preamp and integrated both called the Concerto; the Concentra is discontinued. 
Copper vs. Silver interconnects
FWIW, I was using a AZ Silver Ref II from CDP to preamp and I purchased an Au24 to compare; I found both to be very close to one another but chose the Au24. Both are fine IC's IMO. 
Anyone try thr new Sirius satellite radio system?
Like Gabbro I listen to Sirius that is supplied through my Dish Network. I do enjoy it because where I am at I cannot get any Jazz until evening. I am quite surprised by the sound at times, but that happens when your expectations are not high; obv... 
Who makes a "true" Transmission Line speaker?...
Buggtussel is out of business. FWIW, I have had the Amygdala's in my house, as Bugtussel was located near me, and while the Amyg's were fun on some rock music I wasn't overall taken with them. IMO, you can do better.Jean-Marie Reynaud makes TL spe... 
Hi guys, Virtual Dynamics cables???? anyone know
I have compared a VD David power cord to an Audience powerChord, in my system, and prefered the David; I still have two powerChord PC's and the one David PC. I am using Audience Au24 IC's but hope to get some David's in the future, so I can't be o... 
What was the best AudiogoN review you've read?
A review by Jadem6 (sp?), he did a review on some cables he tested, very well done! The title, I believe, was for Valhalla; but he commented on many others that he compared. 
Trade-off between soundstage vs. PRAT
Correct Gingko. 
B&W Signature 805s v. Merlin TSM-Ms ?
Hi Carlo, I know your last post wasnt't directed to me but I would like to address it. I am not doubting that you found your system uninvolving, and I don't want to speak for James but he didn't say it wasn't either, but rather was wondering if it...
