Revel Ultima Salon 2's vs B&W 802d's
Nab2,I never did answer your question about CDs, figured you would not like my stuff. Music is very personal and it is why I do not recommend music for demos very often. Most often what ever you are listing to most frequently at the time makes for... 
Saw the Stereophile review of the B&W 800 Diamond
Mr_mThanks for the information. It is sad to hear there was not much difference. I heard a difference in the two systems I demoed them in. But they were just that, different systems in different rooms.

I don't feel that the new 802diamond's tweeter is any better integrated than the older 802D. It was a little less forward. It is the best tweeter I have heard but it stands out to me too.

"Those 800 Diamond's were easily the best sounding B&W speakers I've ever heard."Krell man, while you thought they were the best B&W speakers yet how do they stack up to other speakers you have heard?Goatwuss,I did not hear the 800D but I ...

Mr m wrote "I'm a bit confused about the oddness of the soundstage you mentioned"It seemed odd to me and I am not sure why, I will try and describe what I heard but it was just one demo of the 802Diamond. I demoed the older 802D about 5 times a fe...

I think Audoifeil has a point, I liked the 802diamond but I could not bring myself to buy them. I have a love/hate relationship with them. On one hand I think they are very engaging (bass punch and the vocals grab you) but on the other they always...

Building HT and 2CH with Klipsch P-37f
Yes you can pass the front two channels to any preamp with an open analog input. If the preamp does not have HT bypass you will need to manually set the volume each time. You can set the preamp volume at 12:00 and do a one time volume level of the...

Nab2,I would like to hear your comparison/opinion of these two speakers. Did you decide which pair you are keeping? 
Magico - a new Mini?
No I have not, I have just seen a few pictures online. If you read through the tour they state the final product is going to look a little different anyway. 
Magico - a new Mini?
Holenneck, Good fined, statements like this are encouraging "We listened to both. Sonically, the Q1 is better in every conceivable way: more extended top and bottom, improved resolution across the entire audioband, and simply breathtaking in terms... 
Revel Studio or Von Schweikert VR4 Mk1 or Salk HT3
Do you mean the older model of Kef, the 207 or the 207/2? All the speakers you have listed are $5000-$6000ish used except for the Kef 207/2 which is $12000ish used. Now the older model Kef the 207 would fall into the $5000-$6000 range. I have neve... 
Help define my listening room size for speakers
I would not worry about your room and go for bigger speakers. I am sure I am in the minority but a lot of times I think a smaller rooms sound better (I will explain my opinion below). But first we all need to stop making blanket statements on thes... 
Klipsch Palladium P-39F?
Yusych,Wow I can't believe it has been two years already sense I started this thread. I looked for a place to demo the Palladiums for a while and gave up. But one day about a year ago I made a trip to demo Magnepan 20.1, 3.6. I brought a lot of ro... 
Magnepan 3.7
Shasonmusic, Your comment does not even justify a reply so this will be the first and last remark toward your allegations.Clearly you are hurt by my very truthful comments about the brand of speakers you own. I assume you do not like my comments a...
