New Klipsch Forte III’s
You could bi-amp from your BAT pre using the RCAs to the parasound and the XLR to a nice VK-220/225 amp. Not only would you have more power overall but the output via XLR is like 3db greater giving you a nice bump to the bass! I briefly heard the ...

@thecarpathian - Your statement would be true if you only listened to one recording. Since every record has a different recording crew, general adjustments are necessary. 
B&W 803D3 + DB1D vs 800D3
Try a single sub first (the DB1D is my dream sub). IF you can find the "magic spot", then no need to clutter your room with three more (I have such a spot in my room). If you can’t dial-it-in then look at adding more boxes. Good luck and Season’s ...

I agree. I grew up with tone control equipped electronics and think they've gotten a bum rap. It usually doesn't take much adjustment to make things sound "right". Instead of trying to make the controls better we threw the baby out with the bathwa...

@whatjd - "hard to believe"? The "government" is mostly a bunch of second-stringers who are doing jobs that smart people don't want.

How old are you?
@mitchagain - It's alright to forget which albums you have as long as you don't keep buying them! 
What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
@boothroyd -That's the beauty. Small tube amps for solo cello and Class-A solid state for 'Zeppelin. The Cornwall can handle them all.

What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
I had the pleasure of La Scalla horns a few years ago and was smitten by their midrange. They were too big for my digs so traded them for some shiny new B&W 804D3s.The Cornwalls are just more versatile as they can be Home Theater speakers and ... 
What amplifiers/integrateds do you like with Cornwall IVs?
I have the same urge. My current system is as good as it gets (for me) if you're talking about an old-school configuration (3-way floor stander speakers, big-iron class AB amp, tube preamp, etc.). Trouble is I will have to live with it until I cro...

Phono stage or pre Amp? which is most important.
I used that same Linn table/arm combo for years and never considered it "cheap". Don’t be the guy that "knows the cost of everything and the value of nothing". Regarding your question, a budget phono-pre can sound excellent so I'd go big on the ma...
