Equipment setup
Any room, especially one that small, will benefit tremendously from acoustical room treatment. It is likely that the midrange and treble are being overwhelmed by the mid-bass in your setup. You could build some bass traps for the corners and some ... 
Experience with high end fuses????
IsoClean Fuses do make a positive difference. Improvement in overall clarity and detail. Make sure to put them in with the directionality correct. A good tweak is to paint the glass body with AVM to reduce resonance.I also hear very good things ab... 
I'm convinced: my Power Conditioner was ruining...
"Power conditioners" designed for computer and industrial applications, cheap (If you cannot/will not spend the $2k++ required to buy a high quality audio-specific power conditioner (and the right one at that), save your money and your sound. Inst... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Bacardi/Tbg,The adapters are of high quality and are Quantum Tunneled, so they probably are as good as an adapter can be. The alternative is to have SR re-terminate your cables with the new plugs as Bacardi states. Can't say how much impact that t... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Update on listening impressions with the Galileo MPCs:Over the past several weeks, I have added G-MPCs to my system one at a time. So far, these are the ones I have added and they have made significant improvements:1) Powercell 10SE and included P... 
Purepower 2000 & Synergistic Powercell 10SE
Hamburger,The power cord is a big part of making the Powercell work at its potential. The non-SE models come with an off-the-shelf molded power cord that SR will tell you is not optimal for the Powercell (putting it mildly).The 10SE includes a 32 ... 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
Mofimadness,I thought the same thing, but when I called B&W/Classe' Audio about 2 years ago to inquire about having my DR-25 upgraded to Twenty Five status, they told me that any changes between the models were extremely minor and that there w...

Krell FPBs are magical with big Thiels. Also consider Pass Labs, Classe' Audio, Bryston, and Parasound JC-1s.Good luck. 
classe twenty five and classe fifteen
I bought a DR-25 in 1989 to drive a pair of Apogee Stages, later used it to drive Apogee Duetta Signatures, and still use it today in bridged mono mode to drive the Martin Logan Stage center channel in my HT setup. The 25 was simply a change in na... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Shellie,Yes I was using the AQ Niagara IC along with the Accelerator IC and, yes, the Accelerator does work much better now that my system is all Tesla. So, as you say, it is possible that the results would have been different had my whole system ... 
Speakers to pair with krell that rock
Wireless 200,I bought my Krell FPB-600C new in 1999 and have NEVER experienced any issues to support your assertion that "Krells are nothing if not forward" or "rough". Perhaps some of the old KSA or KAV amps were guilty of this. Haven't heard the... 
Speakers to pair with krell that rock
Doug,Here is my system:http://cgi.audioasylum.com/systems/9214.htmlThere is no certain brand of cables that work best with a given piece of equipment, only cables that work well in a given SYSTEM. However, there are certainly cables that DO NOT wo... 
Purepower 2000 & Synergistic Powercell 10SE
I have a Powercell 10SE and one of my best friends has a Purepower 2000. They are both excellent units.The Purepower is excellent at providing a black background and is unique among battery-powered equipment in that it can handle a 20-amp draw. My... 
Speakers to pair with krell that rock
I run Thiel CS5i with my FPB-600C. Marriage made in heaven. Truly magical.I would rethink the Cardas cabling thing though.Good luck.
