Belles 150A ref V2 vs Bryston 4BSST2
Buy the Belles and try it. Probably save you a lot of money. The preamp is more important anyway. 
Why my left speaker sounds louder then my right
Easy enough to check if it's your hearing. No hearing specialist required. Simply wait until you notice an obvious bias for your left speaker. Then turn around with your back to the speakers. If the bias is now on the other speaker, it's your hear... 
Nola Boxer or PMC TB2i???
The PMCs have been refined over several generations. They sound great top to bottom with lots of low end for a stand mount. If you can't listen to either, IMO, the PMC is a much safer bet. Good luck 
Review: NAD m51 DA converter
Couldn't agree more with all the praise. I have the NAD M2 integrated amp which uses the same DAC technology as teh M51... 
B&W PM1
They are truly gorgeous speakers. Would love to try a pair of PM1s. I just snagged some KEF LS50s of audiogon and I think they are in the same league... 
B&W 800 DIAMOND-COMPARABLE SPEAKERS
Funny, I was going to recommend Ushers as well. The Mini Dancer 2 is only $5k and sounds and looks like it costs twice that. 
Best Audiophile chair around $200
Speaking of classy, thank you for the kind words...In all seriousness, I've used a poang chair for years and love it. Takes up minimal space. You sit low like most Scandenavian seating and it provides a very comfortable position. It comes with a m...

Headrests are fine as long as you have the right dielectric. I recommend a teflon outer shell and it should be cryo'd for optimum effectiveness. Oh yeah, one more thing, whatever you do don't let your head touch it! 
Selling on Agon question
Also, money orders can bounce weeks after they "clear" your bank. Then the bank comes after you for the money. Money orders (and cashiers checks) cannot be trusted unless you want to wait like 90 days. You are not protected by a "cleared" money or... 
Why do digital coax cables matter?
They sound different to me. I've tried several budget brands and I have found them to sound noticably different. Logically, they should not sound different since it's sending discreet values, not an analogue electrical stream, but they do sound di... 
What The Fidelity??
"he's comparing Samsung to Samsung, the same ES8000 model, only with an upgrade"I call B.S. on that one. 
What The Fidelity??
I think your pro installer dealer is a bit heavy handed with his advice, however, I do find the Tekton an odd choice for home theater. It's a high effeciecy cross overless design. I would think Tekton buyers would typically be 2 channel tube amp g... 
Integrated and DAC vs Integrated with built in DAC
Tough call. I think the Peachtree would sound great. I also like the M1DAC and I suspect it will create a more detailed sound. I'm not a fan of the Marantz amps. I think you can do better for similar money. How about a Musical Fidelity M3 with the... 
Dynaudio focus 380 Vs paradigm S8v3? ? HELP
Hard to answer that question since everyone's defintion of loud is different. All I can tell you is that I've had mine cranked way up with no strain, but I'm not one to ever listen at concert levels. I do think there are better choices if you are ... 
Dynaudio focus 380 Vs paradigm S8v3? ? HELP
I've used Dynaudio speakers with a 4bsst2 and bp26 and it's a fantastic combination. Dynaudio speakers have a smooth delivery and that works very well with the clarity provided by the Bryston gear. This is an excellent match.I currently own Focus ...
