Opinions - Best ever Adcom model???
Have not had extensive expierience with the big 5802 but,the 5500 is a wonderfully musical amplifier.It all just tooklong break-in and trying out cables and interconnects. I believe Nelson Pass of Pass Labs was contracted on the design of this and... 
General opinion about ADCOM amplifiers
This "IMHO" comes late but maybe you are still shopping.Most audiohounds never stop.I have a 555II and,5500. I've had 3 other 555II's as well.For home theater I would say 5 channel Adcom would be good step up from reciever based HT. Not as costly ... 
Soliloquy 6.5 grill improvements?
Yep, maybe they got so into the loudspeaker itself then had to deal with "grilling" it in the midnight hour before release.I agree, 6.5s float nice sonic pictures. Started out about 7' apart,sidewall reflection dictatedcreeping them closer togethe...

Pat Metheny on DVD-A .. this is great..maybe not
"Secret Story" is one of my favorite cds when played on a high resolution system it transports you. He always gets slammed by the reviewers on his projects,yet he gets props on his many collaborative efforts. Me and my wife both really like his mu...

Review: Soliloquy 6.5 Speaker
Just picked up a used set don't believe original owner has gone fully through break-in yet. I have heard a friends set go through this lengthy break-in process easily 500 plus hours of play time with marked improvements over the entire time.What I... 
Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker
I figure you run the 9's on a long wall.Sitting 8'or soback.Then 9's out into the room about 2-3'.Listening chair out about 3-4'out from back wall. The bass from the 2 eights in each SSM9 would be boostedby wall behind you,which could effect opene... 
Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker
I'll give that ratshack treatment a try. Using a stepped resistor line stage on the highs and active line stage on the lows the transparency and pacing have improved another notch. What size room are you running your 9's in? Thanks for the tip. 
Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker
Back of cabinet [SS-M7] Mine have what appears to be peerless classic DH105 4 ohm 1" fabric dome. Made around 1994? The brace behind/below woofer does not attach to front baffle,as they did on later production.This as told to me by Sony es rep at"...

Review: Sony SS-M7aes Speaker
Although purchased several years ago, I am now posting this due to some good listening session w/these speakers only recently. When first set up they sounded nice,imaged out of the cabinet well,but they had constrained dynamics,volume,and lows.Top...
