Cables for Vandersteen 2 Ce Sig II
"I've been hearing that these cables do not match well onthe Vandies." The question is: What do you hear? Do you like it?If you like the sound you're getting, sleep well, and thank you for serving our country! 
To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
P.S. If you're concerned regarding the inefficiency of the Theil speakers and the capacity of the bridged KAV to drive them, give Theil a call. Better to be cautious. It's likely there is no issue, but best to be informed. 
To Bridge Or Not To Bridge
You may even consider trying to bridge the KAV's four channels to two, then trying them out as power to the main L/R speakers! I saw your comments, displeasure with the KAV, however it may be better than the Classe two channel amp you're using now...

Legacy Focus HDs
I hope you really enjoy it! Based on the numbering system Rotel uses, it should be 29.5% better. ;) 
who needs a cd player anymore
Everything will be on a memory chip in a few years. Have you seen the micro SD cards now? YIKES! So small you'd better not sneeze or else they'll blow away! Movies and music will be on them. Then likely we'll be forced to kiss the cdp goodbye, unl...

Dacapobone, you won't go wrong with any of the brands you list. Enjoy the hunt for the amp! :) 
need amplification help for sonus faber amati
Dacapobone, speakers dipping down to 2.6 Ohms is not unheard of. Gianni was being cautious as the specs for selling them did not officially state their use for 4 Ohms bridged, but I have used them in that capacity and have never had an issue. No c...

Go to your own people... "Pathi"Read my review http://www.dagogo.com/PathosClassicOneMkIII.htmlNote, at the head of the review the price is not $5,500 each, but at the time per pair! This is very affordable, and very effective, as well as aestheti... 
Ayon CD-2 sonics? thoughts? opinions?
I have not found the "looped" digital cable trick to work on the CD-2. It seems when "Digital Input" is selected the transport is inoperable. Just as well; one less thing to confuse me. ;) 
I am sick of cables
Stewie, lovely concise clarification. You never know, with society being inundated with the likes of the "Food Channel", who's overboard on eating. I find it shocking what some people spend on eating out. They could afford a nice system on a year'... 
I am sick of cables
And "getting a decent plate of food" is supposed to be on the same level of importance as the two previous? If the comment is in jest, fine. If not, it's pathetic, and myopic. :) 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Hmmm.... Bond. Yes, I just added their albums to my Rhapsody subscription. Now I have them all and am listening as I type this. Might sound hokey, but this would be excellent music for when I do intervals on the treadmill. Here's some different fe... 
Legacy Focus HDs
Impossible to answer based on the information; a head to head comparison would be the only way to know. The rotel should be a pretty good transport; you could consider adding a dedicated DAC. The Cambridge DacMagic is supposed to be very good for ...
