Yeah, WTF 
Candid opinions regarding Kharma Ceramique 2.2
Hello Thom,We spoke via email a while about about the Wilson Sophias and some other stuff. Read through this thread again - Some other recs for the sophias, as well as the Hovland Preamp.Plan that trip to Goodwin's High-End, and listen to the Soph... 
Help Me Interim Speakers Suggestions?
If you have the power (What amp do you have?) then you've GOT to check out Dynaudio. $3500 for the Special 25s is a STEAL, and low $2000s is a very good price for the S1.4s. Either of those would IMPROVE on some aspects of the B&W N802s-Todd 
Klipsch LF-10 Placement & Configuration Advice
I'm sure there are some SS amps that these speakers sound good with, but at least in my case, those horns were way too edgy with every solid state system I tried. Jolida integrated helped, Bottlehead SE amps helped more. -Todd 
My first real hi-end audio system Please advise
Don't sell the Mac gear! It'd make me cry. Movies with a high end 2 channel + sub setup are SO MUCH better than a medicore 5.1 setup, and there's NO WAY you could put together a 5.1 setup sounding decent in that small of a room, and even if you di... 
Klipsch LF-10 Placement & Configuration Advice
Those Klipsch's aren't the most placement sensitive, as long as they're 2 or so feet away from the back wall. They can sound pretty dynamic and good - but only if you're driving them with WARM tube electronics. SE tube amps, and some PP tubes need... 
how 'bout Wilson Sophias with Simaudio P-5/W-5 ??
Jazzdude - I am a supratek Syrah owner, and have listened to the W5 with a small handful of systems, and really like it. I am aware, however, that it is a "balanced" design, and apparently would rather run with a balanced input from the preamp. Al... 
Full sounding Bookshelf speakers music only
Definitely check out the GR-Research A/V-1. I had the Paradox-1s which were an excellent speaker. A/V1 is more or less the same, with a different tweeter. http://www.gr-research.com/performer/av1.htmVery Recommended! 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Anyone know if the phono in the Syrah will be upgradable to the new revision in the chenin?thanks,Todd 
JMLab Micro Utopia Be vs Dynaudio Special 25
Stop talking about the Caravelles. This thread is about Dynaudio speakers and JM labs speakers - two speakers that I care about. The caravelles I do not, and neither do many of us. Everybody is sick of you hijacking threads.To answer your question... 
So I heard some B&W Signature 805s today...
thanks for the responses,I'm going to try and arrange for an in-home audition for this weekend. I'm headed out to hear the JM Labs micro Utopias in a couple days. Dynaudio 1.3SEs I've heard, and I certainly did enjoy their sound very much - though... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
How is Syrah pronounced? 
Preamp Deal of the Century
Hey there,Does the Syrah preamp (with remote) ever show up on Audiogon? I'd love to find a used one that someone was willing to part with, as I can't quite afford the nearly $3000 price right now (after shipping, etc.)Thanks,Todd
