Anyone using a Power Plant to power an XBR CRT?
Actually, I owned the 300. And while I did find it made a differnce, I would say it was more of a "tweak" than anything - not a miraculous transformation of my audio system, basically. It was someone what of a "tweak" basically. Like any tweak, ye... 
Power Configuration with Monster HST1000 MKIII
By appliances, do you mean all your equipment? Or do you mean ADDITIONAL household appliances, like microwaves, blenders, toasters and vacuum cleaners? If you mean the latter, I suggest you have enough reserve there for all your audio/video equipm... 
Anyone using a Power Plant to power an XBR CRT?
I'm at a total lose as to WHY anyone would use up the power capacity of a Power Plant to run a 34" tv! I can't imagine any gains you think you might see in clarity, detail, lack of noise, better color, whatever, from using a "cleaner(?)" source to... 
Speakers for difficult placement.
Those Gallo 3 sig's are a superior speaker all around, IMO. I installed a pair for a client who was replacing some original Vandy 2c's with some 2ce Sig's, then on to these finally. My impression was that they offered not only stronger dynamics, t... 
Speakers that reveal bad recordings? Not for me.
"Why is it ever desirable to have speakers that simply reflect whatever they are fed, for better or worse?"For me, the real thing is better than a synthetic replica of the original. I personally therefor enjoy getting as close as is possible to th... 
Disney Digital 3D- Bolt
Yeah the 3d tech is coming along nicely. If they' release some content on disc, and make more on the big screen, I think they'd have something. I saw a demo the other day at a tech show, and the 3d on a large 106" plasma was amazing! Yes, and I ha... 
JVC or Pioneer Elite Projector
The JVC's have been at the for front of their respective LCos/DILA tech for some time in the projector market. Consistently they've had the best of this technology.Saw a properly set up JVC DLA-RS20U the other day on a 120" 16:9 screen and it was ... 
Has used prices of gear droppd, due to economy
And yet it is still a good time to buy (yes, used gear), as prices are generally down on the market. And also next year, you can likely bet prices will be down even more. Make of it what you wish. 
Pioneer Elite vs. Pioneer "Standard" Kuro Plasmas
Standard Pioneer's are better than anything comparable, then the Elit's are that much better. Hands down, Pioneer OWNS the plasma market for bets tv's out there, yes!

I'm going to "re-structure" here, so as to not offend any...My fellow Audiogon "bargain shoppers",In light of the current and especially coming (likely) economic climate, there are and will surely be some great deals out there for the prudent and ... 
Has used prices of gear droppd, due to economy
I just hate it when someone who's wealthier than me has to sell the gear they love so much, and I get a good deal! I just HATE IT! Makes me all upset just thinking about it, really... 
Has used prices of gear droppd, due to economy
"Its a shame that the suffering of one is excitement to another, if you stop and think about it all its a really sad time for many folks who may need to sell items they love to simply survive." ...need to sell items they "LOVE" to survive? Oh, boo... 
Wilson better than Thiels?
Yeah, it'll come down to preference - especially considering audiophiles and enthusiasts alike will always differ on tastes.I used to sell Thiel and Wilson both. I owned a pair of Thiel 2.3's, as I got a good deal on em. Still, the Wilson's throug... 
Has used prices of gear droppd, due to economy
Yep, the deals will come! When people start really needing money, and re-prioritizing their lives, they'll surely start selling off that equipment they once wanted to badly, and you'll find all the deals, sure. It will be a great opportunity for t... 
How does Meridian sound with Sonus Faber??
Um, as huge of an issue that acoustics plays, as well as voltage from your wall, noise filtration, tweaks, yada, yada, I would say say that - at least in this case - component compatability and sonic compliment is more of a deciding issue. That's ...
