Cary SLP-05 in combination with Theta Citadels
Tailor3,Thanks for your response. This sounds exciting and promising. I have already ordered the SLP05. Unfortunately, it will take some time before I can listen to my new system because I have relocated and I am now in the process of building a n...

Fjn04,what other components were in the system you listened to? 
CARY SLP-05 Power Cord
I am planning to use WireWorld Silver Electra. 
Best ICE-powered amps ?
Guidocorona,the Citadels run quite cool. I don't know (- or care -) much about the amps technology, but they are definately not ICE. 
Best ICE-powered amps ?
Guidocorona,Theta Citadel monoblocks. I am very very happy with these! 
Best ICE-powered amps ?
I have replaced my JRDG 501 because I found them too boring in the long run. Very analytical and controlled, better than most other ICE's, but ICE amps are not musical enough for my taste. 
Which Proac would sound better
Go for the D38. An absolutely wonderful speaker. They should integrate well in a room of your size. 
Aerial 20T or Proac D100
Westborn,Aerial is not out of business! I have order my pair through my dealer here in Norway where I live. I am not sure about the delivery time. Doesn't bother me too much since my listenig room is under construction so I will not need the speak... 
Aerial 20T or Proac D100
Hi,Today, I have placed my order for a new pair of 20T's with Natural Sycamore finish. I have relocated and will build a new 2 channel system with these. 
bridging a theta dreadnaught II
I would have used the two channels to biamp. This is what I do (I have an Aerial CC5 and a Theta Intrepid setup like this.) Works very fine!. Anyway I am thinking of going for a Dreadnaught II or a Theta Enterprise later on. 
Has anybody experienced Proac D80?
Sorry for late answer, maybe you have D80 already, but sure I have compared them to D25 as I have had D25 earlier. The D80 sounds much better and bigger! But the D25 are impressive for their size, but most suitable in smaller rooms. 
The best speaker you ever heard?
The new Avantgarde Meta Primo. Absolutely awesome. 
Aerial 20T or Proac D100
Worldcat, good to know that you are happy with the Theta-Aerial combo. I would like to know if you have compared the 20Ts with speakers from other high end manufacturers in your setup? 
Aerial 20T or Proac D100
Gregadd, but what about the midrange? I believe the 3" soft dome from ATC is pure magic...And the D100 also has two 10" for bass.Could the smaller 20T beat this ?
