Bad experience with ZYX AIRY 3
Raul,Thanks for your thoughtful response to my post. My system page needs updating, sorry. I am now running Avantgarde Duo 3.2's, Art Audio PX-25, Aesthetix Callisto sig, etc...... The system is "full range" (if 20-20k is what you call full range)... 
Best In-wall surrounds to go with ML in theater?
They aren't "in walls", but have you considered the small Maggies that mount "on wall", and are hinged to lay flat when not in use and then fold out for listening. They are pretty nice sounding and are dipole like the Logans in front. 
PX-25 Tubes. Too exotic??
I have an Art Audio PX-25 too. I have not compared it to any 300B amps, but love it's sound into my Avantgarde's. I wonder if anyone has compared the current PX's to the NOS models? Just curious (I could never afford them).Sorry to hijack the thre... 
Amp recommendation for Maggies 1.6Q

Raul,I would like to know what frequency problems you are referring to as well.......... My system is as full range as most (20-22k) and I have not heard the problems you are mentioning. Is your system full range??Chris

How to set SRA after determining true vertical?
Ohhhhhhhhhh, you guy's are making my head hurt. I knew I shoud have stayed awake in algebra class (I never even made it to geometry). I'll supply the beer if one of you will just come on over to my house and set my TT up!Chris 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
Guido,I had the cables in my system for about a week (30-40 hrs??). I heard no change during my time with them......... If it's like Albert says, we may have been WAY off the mark.BTW, my system is both yin and yang...... that's why I like it so m... 
Best Country/Rock - Poll
Why not get the record that started it all...... Sweetheart of the Rodeo by the Byrds. Early Hoyt Axton, Jerry Jeff Walkers first few records are really good. Now you have Lyle Lovett, Robert Earl Keene, Townes Van Zandt (RIP), Guy Clark, Lucinda ... 
Avantgarde Duo 2.2 Amplifier Match.
Art Audio PX25 or Audiopax would be good too........ My PX25 is sounding very tasty about now.Chris

He was growing a beard............. And starting to develop a nervous arm flapping movement???? 
Any John Hartford fans?
Aeroplane, it's great! He was one of my favorites that played regularly at my fathers night club when I was growing up. Great performer, great person. 
Avantgarde Duo 2.2 Amplifier Match.
Oh my God.......... I just posted this exact same question about two weeks ago. Have you checked the archives? Your VT100 IS NOT the way to go.Chris 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
Could it be the Cable Company's cables are not broken in as stated? That's where mine came from too.......... They are the ones Guido and I heard to be closed in on top........ I kinda thought someone had stuffed a giant sock down the throat of my...
