Auditorium 23 SoloVox...
Aronsss, yes I've heard the Tannoy Kensingtons and have very much enjoyed them. They are a bit too elegant for my living area and I prefer the look of the Glenair 15, although again like the SoloVax, I've never listen to these. 
Auditorium 23 SoloVox...
Thanks Chashas1 and 4musica44107! You guys have been very helpful. Bottom line Michael Lavorgna's review was closer to the truth with regards to placement, although I don't remember any mention of room size issues. As a matter of fact (and I'll ne... 
Auditorium 23 SoloVox...
Rrog, I'm already experimenting with the sound panels, and yes it may come down to the stereo or my wife. Although the dog comes with me (as well as any new speakers that I purchase) :-).Anyone care to comment on the SoloVox? Or are they not that ...

Asa,Do a search on "6moons audio reviews: Reality Check with John Kalinowksi" to get an idea on what John does.Forgive me if you've already found this link.I would like to hear Bobheinatz's setup. I'm always intrigued by custom stuff at a reasonab... 
Shindo advice
Asa,If you're interested in the Audio Note AN-E/SPe HE speakers (which I love as well, but my rack is situated in the center of a 20ft long wall with entry doors on either side so corner placement is impossible) and you're considering the DeVore G...

I'll bet you'll miss the remote :-).I have the Joule LA150/ops-1 and I too am looking to replace them with the Monbrison. Unfortunately, and I may have misunderstood Matt, only the Masseto and above have a tape loop. That's probably not a big deal... 
Opus 21 CD vs Mac Mini... Opus wins
I too have a Mac Mini and a Wavelength Brick. The sound is superb enough for me to sell off my Accustic Arts transport and soon I'll be listing my Audiomeca Enkianthus DAC. I'm looking to upgrade to the Wavelength Cosecant next (the Crimson is big... 
Leben integrated amps and Merlin VSM
Tvad,I tried Merlin/Ars-Sonum Filarmonia/Cardas (both bi-wire and single wire Cardas Golden Ref., but not the Clear or Clear Beyond) and I wasn't as happy with it as I was with the Merlin/Berning/Joule/Cardas solution.So here's the quandary: one c... 
Leben integrated amps and Merlin VSM
Well partly because the VZN-100 and 160 are monoblock which don't always fit in everyone's decor. I love the VZN-100s, but I think my wife would leave me. They, as well as the VZN-80, also generate a lot of heat. That's probably great in Maine, bu... 
Is Michael Wolff still making power cord?
Very sad news. I loved Mike's power cords. Both he and his creations will sorely be missed. I wish the best for you and your family during such a sorrowful time. 
Leben integrated amps and Merlin VSM
Egidius,Seriously, the guy sold you his ZH-270 and then wanted to buy it back?! I wonder what flipped him. I would never sell my ZH-270 unless I was absolutely sure I preferred the new amp. I'm the one who generated this thread and I've since boug... 
Is Michael Wolff still making power cord?
Got it! Thanks for the heads up Dlcockrum! You just stopped me from making an offer on a Tesla power cord. :-)Greeni's recommendation of TelWire looks interesting as well. I was not aware of this company.Thanks guys! 
Is Michael Wolff still making power cord?
Thanks Dlcockrum for the reply. If what you heard is true, that is really too bad. I own Silent Source, Blue Marble, Cardas Golden Reference and Michael Wolff's Gains. My favorite are the Wolff's. I was hoping to finally try one of his Source powe... 
Poor man's reference DAC
I just spent the last month listening to every DAC I could get my hands on. I finally went for the Audiomeca Enkianthus. It sounded so nice that the guy who was going to sell me his Accustic Arts transport rescinded after hearing the two together.... 
Xindak SCD-2 Mods
Wow! Good results using the Xindak SCD-2 with a Kora Hermes DAC? Good to know, because I have Xindak SCD-2 which I've replaced the tubes and the thing still sucks! I wouldn't recommend this CD player to anyone, but with all the praise I've heard I...
