Does anyone have any experience with Revel M126Be speakers?
@james633  , I actually do have an ancient M&K sub (that needs upgrading) that I pair with my ancient B&W 805s (that I would like to upgrade).  That's a helluva discount on those F226Bes from Audio Advice. . . .  I've got the impression fr...

Talking to Revel reps, at Audiogon, they have stated the M126Be is a gem of a speaker. Most of them own them. @botrytis MD actually does have a couple of open box pairs at the moment. I am thinking seriously . . . but I have done that before.  
Solar flares are here, everyone unplug your dryer!
 instead of relying on others why don't you prepare your home for potential power grid meltdown. Probably because it is more enjoyable to turn a solar flare discussion into a rant about foreign policy.

Thanks for the feedback on those, @james633  ; they are about $1400 off.  The 226bes are a bit rich for my blood right now.  Also, I am listening near-field in a small room..

Speaking of Joan Osborne:  I have a live CD of hers that I bought strictly for her cover of Son Of A Preacher Man.  I cannot remember if I already listed that on this thread, but if I did, it's so good it's worth listing twice.

All criminals after the last four years of masses controls, giving money to Ukraine and Israelis to entertain ongoing wars, never adressed the grid stability problem... Think about criminals think about those who lead North America... You just ...

Thanks for that. I guess I will just keep on not reading these long winded diatribes of nothingness. I am sure we all know about whom I am posting. Yes, @laoman  , unfortunately I do know.  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?
Maybe you could just fill in the blank as it suits you? "I find that you only hear a difference in _______  if you really think you will."

@bdp24  I started seeing Lucinda live in small joints throughout L.A. around the time she was recording what became her s/t album on Rough Trade Records (I assume that’s the one stuartk referred to as her "white album") yes, that is the one al... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
By the way I had no intention to sound obnoxious or arrogant with that list I posted earlier. @audphile1  , I didn't take it that way at all--those all seem to me to be legitimate reasons.  Especially as far as hearing goes.

@stuartk , always good to talk to another Lu-natic! (I am not the originator of that term.) EmmyLou in ’76? Not far removed from the look and sound she had on her cameo at The Last Waltz, huh? I bet that was special. I got to see her with Spy Boy... 
A stupid question(s) about power cords
@audphile1 , I suppose that to be honest I do fit into a couple of the categories on the list. Although, with all things being relative, my equipment is probably okay, my room is small and acoustically untreated and I am near-field listening (uno...

@laoman  , to the best of my knowledge, this site has no blocking feature.  I suppose that all that you can do if you find the content of a post objectionable (and given the content of the particular post, I can see how that might be) is to report...

The surge protector thread has made me so paranoid that I have unplugged almost everything except for the TV and the computer and the refrigerator.
