| Adcom GFP-750 pre with Bryston 4BST amp works? Ivanj, what mods to the GFP-750 do you suggest? ThanksThe Adcom sounds better in active to me but my Marantz CDB is said to lack dynamic drive and the active pre may compensate for that. | |

| The best speaker you ever heard? ATC active 100's. Can any passive speaker equal active speaker technology? ATC supposedly hads the most accurate mid driver made as well. I haven't heard nautilus 800's but I think ATC beats Thiel 6's. | |

| What Rags carry the most review weight??? I really like What HiFi. Their hearing must be like mine because their descriptions match what I hear in stores. Unlike Stereophile which leaves me confused and feeling like I need to spend more money. For example, the latest buzz on M-F upsamplin... | |

| What's driving your 805's Adcom GFP-750/ Musical Fidelity A3cr. If I did it again, Krell drove them better but that is my preference. I've wanted to like Thiel but my ears can't take the . B&W / Krell was the closest I could get. | |
