Why do my speakers "POP" when I turn off preamp?

Wilson W/P 6 with Krell 350 MCX ?
I've found Krell and Wilson to be a harsh sounding comob(with great dynamic bass). Some people like that combo, but it has never floated my boat. You need a warmer speaker with Krell.I own WP7's. Not looking for a flame war, just my personal prefe...

DD-12 Vs. DD-15

Don't think I'm crazy but...

Blue Train, SACD or DVD-A
Gaudio_eek: thanks for the correction. I was referring to the fact that Sony has stopped investing in the developement and promotion of SACD recently. More independent lables are producing SACD's now than Sony. 
Blue Train, SACD or DVD-A
Which ever media has the most music you actually like to listen to? SACD development has slowed to a crawl and both SACD and DVD-A can be had with a new universal player.What price range also are you looking at because the EMM gear is outstanding ...

400+ watts into 4 ohm, pull the speakers out into the room. If you are watching movies this will happen even more so with this few watts. 
CJ Premier 14 vs. 16LS..etc.
The Premier 14 was the the step down below the ART before the 16 replaced it. I owned a Premier 14 which has more of the older CJ house sound than the more neutral ART, 16, 17 etc. I'm not sure the 14 has 100 steps it uses ~23 vishay's into 3 comb...

P1200 vs Shunyata Hydra
If you system is slow or missing detail I will second the Electraglide cables (I owne the Fatboy, Reference Glide, and Tri-Glide) I bought and sold the Shuyata cables $1100 each retail as they put a fog on my system. You mileage will vary dependin... 
Martin Logan Owners - Any problems with humidity?
if your concerned about light breaking down the panel (not sure if that is really founded) just have the windows tinted with a UV protectant film (this will help with the fading also)
