Does anyone play two pairs of speakers at the same time?
Bilaltata,  you will see on the first page of this thread the success I had (and still have) running Focal Utopias and Focal Electra 1038BE2’s together.  What I’ve  done since then to make them even better in performing as a pair is muting the twe... 
Focal Scala EVO with Luxman M-900u amps, yay or nay?
No I still have my x250.8 and do love it.  The Scala Utopias will fill your room with bass and power.  I have dual subs and sometimes I turn them off, forget to turn them back on and find myself very satisfied without the subs.  If you could provi... 
Focal Scala EVO with Luxman M-900u amps, yay or nay?
For whatever it is worth, a few months ago I called Precision Audio & Video in Chicago (they list on Audiogon) as I was thinking of trading in my Pass Labs x250.8 for some Pass Labs mono blocks to power My Scala Utopias.  The owner said he was... 
Speaker Wire suggestions for feeding Rockport Atria II’s?
Madison audio DOES make speaker cables (E3 Extreme 1).  They are copper, however, but with what you are asking for (“lush presentation”) these may be just what you need. 
New Magnepan "Concept Speaker" introduced at Audio Connection
Josh358,  Thanks for that. Let’s hope a commercial version might give us a choice to use amps of our choice, if possible.  Time will tell.

Does anyone know what amp and how much power was driving these? When I went to the 30.7 demo they sounded very good as they were powered by Mark Levinson No. 53 Monoblocks (500w into 8 ohms 1000w into 4).  
Focal Spectral 40th
My same thoughts, mofojo.  I think if people (audiophiles) could only know better (get an audition quick) and weren’t so worried about companies making certain models ‘obsolete’, by discontinuing them, in this case proven performers, all of those ...

Was it the electronic or print version of The Absolute Sound?  If it’s electronic please post the link as I looked and couldn’t find it.Thanks 
Amp for focal 1038be?
I forgot to mention AZ Gargantuan 2’s power cables on the amps. 
Amp for focal 1038be?
I’ve had 1038 BE2’s for approx. three years.  I began by powering them with Odyssey Audio 160w per channel Cyclops, moved on to Pass Labs x250.5 paired with Pass XP-10.  Within three months both were traded in for x250.8 amp and XP-20 Pre.  Marked...

Speaker cable and Interconnect BRASS Connectors
Almandog,This is an interesting question/concern which I have considered at length in my pursuit for perfection in speaker cables, and I’m glad you bring it up. In my case I use Acoustic Zen Absolute Copper interconnects and Hologram 2’s at the re... 
What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away
So in order to complete the transaction I ended up having to send payment directly to the sellers email account associated with his PayPal account.  Others may have to do the same if they want to make a purchase here. 
What just happened to accepting Paypal?? looks like they are trying to drive us away
Yes.  I just spent one entire hour to complete a purchase here on  Audiogon.  What a pain!  Two weeks ago, it took less than a minute. This evening I had to call PayPal to see what was going on, and it turns out it is Audiogon not PayPal.  Thankfu...
