ATI 4000
I have had 2 of the ATI 1502's and they are fast, full ranged and I thought sounded wonderful.  I played with some B&W bookshelf speakers and then with some Magnepan 3.5's, Linn Kan's and some JBL 4312's.  I have 2 son's and both were given a ... 
Threshold FET 9 / CAS1 vs Manley Stingray
I would love to listen to what you have, bet it is awesome.  I have a Cas2 that I love.  Have listened to lots of Klipsch and love the sound.  Here's my thoughts on amps and speakers.  Different amp, same speakers, different sound.  Vice versa and... 
Help Building an Audio Room
Even if you do a great job of sound insulating the walls and ceiling, sound travels great through hvac air ducts.  Learned that one the hard way.  Good luck.  
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
As McIntosh is now doing some China Hi-Fi with their name on it.  Is this the trusted US made McIntosh or Chi-Fi?  
Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?
Good suggestions above but trust your own ears first and foremost.  Kind of like saying pick a liquid to drink.  Some will say water, soft drinks, milk, others beer, wine, scotch, etc..  I for example like many of the above but for some reason hav... 
Many higher end preamps are dated and ugly, why is this?
I don't care how preamps look, I don't care how speakers look.  I mix black and silver components.  I mix red back light with blue.  All I care about is, how does it sound.  I admit that glowing tubes in the evening can be somewhat intoxicating.   
Yep much to do about nothing. Fear brains.

What amplifier should I get....
@jasonbourne52 If the first watt sucks, why bother?   
What amplifier should I get....
I believe that both have good speakers have good sensitivity, especially the GPA.  I run some A-7, 500 Voice of the Theaters with a Decware integrated SE34I.5 and this has been a magical match.  They are very helpful if you call, and can assist in... 
Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system
I know that with my set up I run in everything from 5.1 to 2.1 to just 2 channel.  You will notice, based on the way things are recorded.  I run a fair amount of turntable and cd on my mains and trying to run anything besides stereo mode, sounds w... 
Suggestions for upgrading amps in my home theater system
How are your speakers set up?  I have a 5.1 system for home theater and have been very happy.  That said, with a 5.1 you have 2 main fronts, a center and 2 rears with a sub.  If I had an amp that I loved the sound of I would put this on your mains... 
Altec Lansing 541B Speakers
I'm not finding anything on line for a Altec Lansing 541B.  This is a very documented brand, especially the old, really good stuff.  I have some of the A7 500's that are not marked anywhere (that I have noticed) with the model number.  It just say... 
Fedex and Ups Damage thread
The key is to pick up and don't trust these people.  They won't pay a claim, they simply suck.  Also, insurance is no good unless they completely lose it.  Was just in Vegas, found a great used place that will not ship anything (they have had too ... 
Sad to say I need a new amp…
I would buy anything but VanAlstine.  I had a worse situation with them than scuba535 with Upscale.  Granted this was over 20 years ago, but had a very much loved early ss amp of theirs.  It went on the fritz, wouldn't power up.  Called and was to...
