Integrated amp for B&W 805S under $1200?
"I mostly listen to classical music, and also some opera and jazz. So I want an amplifier that does justice to the grand symphony sound (think Mahler's Fifth or Tchaiokovsky's Sixth). Sounding musical is very important also: in particular, in viol... 
Classe DR-6 or Adcom GFP-750
Agree with Classe DR-6, one of the most missed preamps I've ever had........smoooooth and easy to listen to for hours. 
How LONG have you been an AUDIOGONER'?
April 2000 is when I finally signed up but had been viewing for a year or so before that. 
NAD 7600... any good?
I agree with Jmcgrogan2. I owned one back in the day when I sold hifi and loved it. If you get it and don't think it betters your current setup you can surely sell it here to recover your money. (Depending on how much your friend wants for it.) He... 
does temperature affect speaker performance?
From my experiences living in Pa., where temps run from 90+ summers to 30 and lower winters, I will have to agree with you. My first house did not have AC and can attest to the dramatic sound changes with temperature that I experienced. A typical ... 
When did you know that music was your passion?
1972, we moved out of Philly to a near by suburb that had a very strong music program. It was my first day of second grade at our new school when I walked into the "bandroom" by accident. I now believe that it was not a mistake but a subliminal ac... 
Drivers for Paragon Acounstic JEM
Did both drivers get damaged or just one?If you get a chance to pull one out and get the model number off it let me know, I may be able to help you out if it is one driver and if it's a 24W100. I have 1 24W100 brand new in box never used from Sole... 
Opinion on Sonic Frontiers SFM-160 monoblocks
Great amps! Thorman is correct about retubing it, unless the seller is honest and has newer tubes in it. If it needs tubes plan on something in the $300+ price range for a good octet of power tubes. Sound like a very good deal even with a new set ... 
What is flat impedance?
Thanks Tvad, I just caught your thread 2 seconds after posting this question...............Looks like it will take a while to sift through but I appreciate the link-up. 
What is flat impedance?
Who makes some of the easiest speakers to drive? I'm just curious to see what you all are using with tubes.I'm looking for a list of speakers to audition that will be kind to my amp.

What's Best To Put Under My Speakers?
My wife's head.It's hard as a rock and shows no signs of sound retension. 
smaller speaker suggestions
I will recommend the Consonance Eric-1 monitor. It has the ability to involve you in the music and not draw attention to electronics. I've never been a monitor fan per-say but the Eric-1 is absolutely amazing. I've been listening to monitors rangi...
