b&w htm2 vs. matrix 805 for center
I have a choice to pick up 2 of the 805 (8 something) matrix horizontal speakers for a center. I would put them side by side. I can do this for half the price of an htm-1. Money is a bit of an issue. I have Nautilus SCM-1 on the front sides and an...

Threshold s/500 vs Cambridge Azur 851 CD
I thank you. I am developing this idea. I will box my Magnaplanar 3’d up for awhile. They have great midrange and superior stereo listening positions, very smooth and forgiving. They just don’t go very loud. I do have a sub.  I will pull Vanderste...

That Pass is $15,000 though!  I don’t have anywhere near that in the budget I have allocated. Why doesn’t anyone talk about the PS Audio stuff? Anyway those are so pricey too because there aren’t many second hand ones for $1500  
Which Threshold amp to buy???
Lots NPN ring emitter transitors out there. Fuji makes them. Check on RFParts.com.  The challenge for me in Idaho is to find someone who can work on electronics period. Do you have any great go-to guys that can fix electronic gear like amps? Ther...

I can send some. Are you letting me know that as you have upgraded from amp to amp the Threshold is just older now and not as exciting as u have traded up to newer models?  
Ideas for an amplifier?
I guess you know that the Threshold amp doesn’t have any balanced inputs to connect to my DAC. Do you still recommend it for me?  
Ideas for an amplifier?
Is there anyone that comes to mind as your go-to electronic repair technician who can repair almost any amp?  These guys are becoming obsolete due to Chinese imports but that is a monster for a different forum. Cheers  
Ideas for an amplifier?
I do know someone who is selling a Threshold S/500 amp that can be bought for about $400. It is older but great THD and power. What do you think?  I would still have enough money to take my Wolfhound to McDonalds.

I am salivating already…

Ideas for an amplifier?
May you suggest a like for Ralph. I cd not find them on Google.    on a completely separate and unrelated question, why are kit amplifiers that you assemble yourself sold so cheaply?  Do they circumvent an import tax. I wouldn’t buy one but the o... 
are sonance amps any good.
I don’t find my 260x3 very powerful. My McIntosh MC2100 is old and half the watts and louder. The amp does seem to clip if you drive it. It doesn’t have a volume control so if you stream by Bluetooth you will have to use your cell phone volume con... 
Can pro amps possibly sound good? Crown, QSC, etc
I wondered why these amps don’t hold their value. Number 1 seems to be that they are made in a country known for being the land of junk manufacturing and our potential future enemy (am I wrong that many are thinking of this - not a political state...
