Which Stands for Magnepan LRS (and other models): Mye, Magnariser, Sound Anchor, etc
Though I do not own Maggies ( which I wish I had room for), I do own Sound Anchor products to hold my amps and subs.I find their construction as well as their business conduct to be first rate.Bob 
Replacement for Vandersteen 2ce
Though I know it may not be something you want to hear... My thoughts would go to changing first the speaker cable to AQ. A set of GO-4 isn't too expensive. I use them for my Treo's and find them a good match. Johnny probably knows your current ca... 
What DB level is best for judging audio equipment?

Vandersteen Treo CT
Ctsooner isn't kidding about the cabinetry of Vandy speakers, and, I can vouch for his wood working abilities, too.I just got an Ayre KX-R (non Twenty) and wanted to say how great it sounds. It is replacing an AtmaSphere MP-3 for the time being.I ...

Weekends are probably best for me. It sure would be nice to put a face to everyone's name. @bigkidz ,Can you bring some of your equipment, too? Like your DAC?Bob 
Vandersteen Treo CT
