Pinnacle BDC 1200
Well the Pinnacles are here. The build quality is ok. I would say they are worth every penny I paid for them $500,they retail somewhere between $900 and $1100. I would say in that range there are speakers better, but not much. The binding post are...

Thanks Big. I actually say them here on Audiogon. They look great, but I was concerned about the sound. Well I bought the pair here on Audiogon to see how they sound. If I hate it I will just sell it. Because I don't have a dedicated listening roo... 
Bryston VS Musical Fidelity
Tvad,I'm not so sure 100wpc would be enough. The loudness is notthe issue, it's the weight, the body of the sound, as youmentioned. I,ve heard the difference between 100wpc and a200wpc amp, same brand. I know there are other factors like current t...

Tvad,I haven't measured the db level. I will do some readingon the CI Audio. 
Bryston VS Musical Fidelity
Tvad,Indeed the choices are endless. Wht you say about equipment matching is also true. The reason I through a Rotel ampinto the mix is because I have:Rotel RCD-1072 (CD Player)Rotel RC-1090 (pre-amp).I owned the RB-1080 also, but I sold that in o...

Bryston VS Musical Fidelity
Snofun,I've heard the Bryston 3BSST and 4BSST with Paradugn S4 speakers. The 3B was not very good with the speakerit just did not make the speaker come alive. To me the 3B, sounded alot like the Rotel RB-1080. The 4B was much better it made the sp...

Musical Fidelity with B&W
Thanks all. I'm currently experimenting with 2 Rotel 120W amps. The perform much better that one 200W Rotel. So oneamp per speaker is definitely better than one amp for twospeakers.I figured out that the key is having total channelseparation. So I...

I know Matti. My wife is wondering if this will ever end. 
B&W N804 VS Paradigm Studio 100 V3
Matti,I don't really need alot of base. I do like a verydetailed sound. I felt with the S2 that I was missingout on some music. The S4's were better, but just slightly.I just want a speaker that's able to reproduce more of the recording well, with...
