Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
Custodian - I feel for you and the poor support in the EU. Here in the States my experience with both my local dealer and Wilson directly has been terrific. It surprises me they don't have better support over there. Have you heard anything about s... 
Does this device exist?
Cambridge Audio Azur 640 H. Everything that you have stated is offered. It doesn't need to be connected to the internet - but it can be. Storage amounts can vary (be changed) and expanded. SPDIF digital output. Can be operated with a computer or T... 
Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
Upgrade1394 - I obviously don't agree with you that the 7 sounds harsh and a bit metallic, as I don't think the 5s sound that way either. But as to the 8 vs. 7 or the 8 vs. the Sasha, I think you may be correct in your assessment that they are clo... 
Does this device exist?
A computer and exteranl hard drive. About $500 spent and your done. Can you hear the computer? Not if it is in the next room and just the cables for the monitor and keyboard are in the listening room. Heck, you can even put the computer inside a b... 
Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
It's also interesting that people that don't like Wilson also aways recommend the Sophia's among the Wilson line-up.Wilson isn't for everybody, just like Sonus, B&W, panel speakers, etc. . . People shouldn't buy any of them without not having ... 
Does Aesthetix calypso match with Krell 200s pow?
Offline69, the KRC2 and KRC3 were made at different times. The KRC2 preceded the 3 and many feel that the proverbial "improvements" Krell claimed did not result in a better sounding product. Many people feel that the KRC-HR is the best of the fami... 
Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
Sorry, one addition (for some reason I couldn't edit the above after clicking "preview first"). I said I preferred the 5s over the 6s. I wanted to add that the people who owned the 6s also preferred the 5s in my room over the 6s in their rooms - o... 
Wilson Watt Puppy, which version?
I have owned several Wilson speakers over the years, all but one pair was purchased used. I actually like the 5.1s better than the 6s but not as much as the 7s. Maybe it was the set-up of my system versus the systems I listened to the 6s in. I do ... 
Best speakers For ARC VT100MKII
Vdosc, the Wilson W/P speakers will produce the goals of your indicated #3 (though I wouldn't call their midrange liquid). However, they will fail in your #2 category above. For your size room, they would be a good pairing with this amp assuming y... 
Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5
Bryon is right IME. Try diffusion on the back wall versus absorption.Ceiling though is a nice area to address as it too is a first reflection point. But ceilings are a bit more difficult from an aesthetix stand point. 
Best speakers For ARC VT100MKII
Two questions:#1: Describe the sound or performance you are seeking, as different goals and objectives (likes/dislikes) will play a significant factor.#2: Have you done anything to maximize the performance of your room? A properly treated room wil... 
Gemme Tanto V2- any thoughts?
Its funny you say you are not a "fan" of Sonus Fabers either, yet you have had them for 3 years. I know where you are coming from. I think they are a speaker that doesn't due harm and as such, it is easier to compare them to other speakers that wh... 
Digital Rights Management and iTunes
srwooten, you are right, I just went back and checked my receipt from yesterday. Shipping/handling was $2.98 so my average price paid is $4 delivered. I think $4 is still a good price for a CD that I want. I no longer just go out and buy CDs that ... 
Digital Rights Management and iTunes
Ahhh, the downside to the newer versions of i-Tunes. I have worked hard to not upgrade iTunes and with it the more restrictive DRM. Of course by not upgrading, I swear iTunes can never find the album artwork for any CD is rip.I buy most my CDs on ... 
Pass X150.5 vs. X250.5
Once again, I think you are running out of power in class A mode, not total power. You indicate that when you turn it up, it gets bright and grainy (my words), this is indicative of these Pass amps that transfer out of class A to class A/B, in my ...
