speaker synergy and halo jc-1's
The Krell/Wilson combo is going to be a little bright and harsh but you will get the idea if they are setup correctly (Wilson's are like a microscope) The Sophia's will work with SS or tubes flawlessly and it is a stable 4ohm load (doesn't dip bel... 
speaker synergy and halo jc-1's
Vargus: The Wilson's are a premium compared to the bargain VR's,but I feel that as a Wilson owner that I would not feel the need to switch speakers (which makes them a bargain in my eye). The Sophia's do not require a sub, but if you are looking f... 
speaker synergy and halo jc-1's
If you like Electronic type music the Sophia have laser imaging (Merlin's are suppose to have this similar quality) and super fast attack/decay which the VR (basically most conventional speakers) as good as they are can't compete with, this is an ... 
Sub on spikes?
Another option is to float your sub with some Aurio Pro's and add some weight (25lbs of #6 Lead Shot) on top. I did this with my Velodyne 18" and it hit harder and cleaner. Without spikes or anything was not defined. 
Best isolation device
Aurios or Darumas - float those components or replace those shelves.

It's pretty funny until you hear it yourself that a cable can make that big of a difference as a component! It's what caused me to go Transparent years ago and upgrade each year.It's funny I have audiobuddies bring over there cables all the time t...

Transparent Interconnect Question....
If you equipment benifits from balanced (my Gamut CD1R does) then balanced transparent is the way to go, but to truely take advantage make sure you can also do transparent speaker cable, so if that means a step down, then do it.I found the latest ...

Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???
Darren, You are right about it snapping into focus, I felt the same way when I went from non-xl to xl and from ulra with xl to reference with xl complete.. my speaker cable is still reference xl and I have been hesitating on buying reference MM, a... 
Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???
I did the reference MM balanced and my friend did the Ultra MM balanced and yes reference is better but barely, I would have saved the money and bought Ultra MM as it was better than my older reference with XL balanced... and that is all I needed.... 
Wilson Alexandria X-2 with ML N33???
As a WP7 owner the resisters will blow or show reduced volume and it is designed to protect the drivers.I just got my Watch Dog and it fills in perfectly and I prefer this setup to just straight Maxx II. The difference is that the Maxx II's throw ... 
Jeff Rowland 302 or Conrad Johnson Premier 350
Thf: 301 has room for the extra powersupplies because they are monoblock, I don't know about the 302, I've seen a 302 listed here on agon that was 4 channel because of the powersupply setup and had two sets of outputs and inputs. So there might be...
