has anyone heard zingali overture 1's? de capo's?
I have the Ref 3a MM De Capo's. I chose them over the Dulcets because a friend told me they where a quantuum leap over the dulcets. I have been quite pleased with them. The recommendation of good heavy stands is right on the money, I used Skylan's... 
Review: Harmonic Precision Caravelle Speaker
I have heard the Caravelles and these babies weigh 50lbs. each! I agree with the reviewer about the three dimensional presentation, it's phenomenal. I also use Star Technology Cables all through my system, speaker and IC, for source and monoblocks... 
Best budget universal CD/DVD player?
Universal Players don't do everything great. The Denon DVD-2900 is about as reference in PQ in this price range however the SACD is abit of a disappointment, taking nothing from the 2900, CD Redbook playback is good. DVD Audio seems to be very goo...

Rogue M-150's sonic flavour
I cuurently own Rogue M-120's Mono Blocks but I moonlight in a store that sells Rogue products. The M-150's are outstanding when matched to the 99 Pre amp. I picked Rogue over Audionote SET amps, which till I heard the 120's and 150's I used to li... 
Europa/PSB Silveri/Meadowlark kestrel 2
I have heard the PSB and the Meadowlark K2's. Both are really nice. I haven't heard the Europa's but they get rave approval here. I see it as a win, win, win, situation. I have heard NAD before and currently at times listen to 320 BEE model. Howev... 
Sistrum or Neuance or...?
Gosh, these threads take a life of their own. Engineers, Physcist and Muscians! I guess it's left up to our ears to decide. I don't know the science or really care, but I have used Sistrum and still do. I notice more detail without brightness but ...
