B&W Nautilus 802 or Krell Resolution 2
IMHO,If you go for the Krell's go for the bigger pair. Personally I found it to be a far superior speaker.FYI; I own the B&W 800'sRichard 
Anybody could advise cables for my system.........
I've said it before, but:I have all Krell gear and have recently discovered Silent Audio Apollo-A interconnects:The best I've ever used!Richard 
Krell KBL or Krell KRC-3 or neither?
Many people feel that Krell preamps sound better without power conditioning, but a dedicated circuit will definitely help. (I have four) That was my case, but aftermarket powercords can make a difference....some good, some bad.RichardPS. I am not ... 
Krell KBL or Krell KRC-3 or neither?
For $450, buy the KBL, unless there is something wrong with it. I owned one and used it in my $60K system and loved it. I never had any problems and the sound was fantastic! I did finally upgrade to the KRC-HR, which actually gave me more of a pos...

Dan, I know what you mean, but:This is not the first time I've listened to the cable. I have had it for several months. For one reason or another, the performance has improved over time.Richard

Best full orchestra recordings?
CD -- Mahler's 2nd; EMI; RattleSACD -- Mahler's 6th; SF recordings; MTT 
Wilson Sophia or Watt Puppy 5.1
Why would he have to recone the speakers?My B&W's are much older and show no signs of needing anything done to them. Knowing the build quality of Wilson's, I would really be surprised if they have a short life.Richard 
Looking for a good tuner with AM too
Check ebay for a Kenwood 7500. Great analog! 
Marantz SA11 owners, what balanced IC are u using?
A friend of mine compared the nonbalanced Apollo A's to his Nordost Quatro's. He was impressed with the fantastic detail, but needed the shielding of his Nordost.Richard 
HE 2005 Show Reports Thread
I was underimpressed with the show in general. I missed seeing some of the great names like B&W and Krell. Also, no Pipedreams or big Dali's. Also, I didn't find the Red Rose room until it was too late and I had to go.I too agree that the smal...
