Parasound vs Rotel Amps
I do not think it is that hard  To many sit around audiophile style with there hand in the chin listening to the gear NOT the music.. The brochure for the legendary  New Advent Speaker 1978 ( which still sounds better then a number of speakers out... 
Intergrated amp question Krell KAV 300i Versus Creek Derstiny
Thanks  I  do not really have a problem with the Krell just wondering.  I had a MF 3.2 a couple of years ago  The blue lights drove me nuts.  I thought it sounded a little grainy compared to the B&K gear  When I say B&K i am talking about ... 
Parasound vs Rotel Amps
I think the older 900 series gear was very musical with a slight grain but not enough to detract. The 10 series seems to follow the trend of much gear of  detail and more  detail which leads to a thin lean sound.  Parasound is also good  but  I wo... 
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?
Got them tied them thought they were good but several thing sounded better for less money  They looked great. 
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?
I can get them for under $1000  I do not want hyper detailed and thing That is exactly what  alot of mid level gear seems to sound like today.  Pehaps i should keep my Mirage OM 5s or go for the old Infinity RSII near me  love the old stuff 
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?
Interesting  it would seem with rock and blues that would be good??  Say sound compared to Vandersteen 2CE or PSB Gold i or even Energy Vetius 1.8 
LSA 2 speakes any experience with these?
 Compared to B&W Matrix 803 series one the the B&W seem more full. Looking at  items in my area PSB Silveri and Goldi, Para studio 100V2, Dahlquist DQ 20. DynAudio Audience 72,  Mirage OM5, Medowlark Kestrel Hot Rod. 
Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question
In order to remove the sock (if that is what you are asking)  you have to 1)turn the speaker upside down and remove the 7 screws from the bottom plate2) You then need to pry off the bottom plate as it is glued on3)  There are then  about 30 staple... 
Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question
I have gone through this with several speakers including Vandersteens  I use AP Oval 9.  There is a difference just not sure it is worth the cost.  Notice I did not say better but different.  The Vandersteens seemed more open and the driver blendi...

On a side not paradigm 100V2 verse PSB silver i?  I do not have them side by side and it has been months since the 100v2s but they seemed dry or thinner overall

Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand v Focal 826V
Ok I now have PSB Silver i here now which I swear may be more likable then the Golds I had    I also have had Paradigm Studio 100v2 s may be use those as a baseline? 
Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand v Focal 826V
Hard to compare as they are many miles apart and listening in another room is almost useless  Are the Mozarts laid back at all??  In other words are rock and blues going to sound to soft?  We are not looking for Cerwin Vega here but do not want a ... 
Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand v Focal 826V
I have Vandersteen 2C (late 80s) and Infinity RS 2.5 right now.  I prefer the doped tweeter in the 2C to the late metal tweeter.  I assume the above speakers are in a different league? 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
I tried one very good but almost hyper  The headphone output is one of the worst i have ever heard  Sam T even mentioned that in his review
