Meadowlark Ospreys with McIntosh/Odyssey
Hi, Canucks0:As you may know, the sweet spot is small and you must sit nine feet or more away from the Ospreys. The port is in front, so you can place them close to the wall. Have you heard the rumor that Meadowlark is out of business? As a result... 
Sub usefulness in constrained placement situation
Placement not a problem with room adjustments. If I were you, I'd get the Revel B15. Use fast interconnects, e.g., Signal Cable Silver Resolution, to ensure sub doesn't lag behind main speakers. Don't fret too much about it. Just avoid using fast ...

Hi, Cshouse007:Suggest you check out the AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with 24/192 upsampling and tube output buffer. It's sweet for the money.Good luck,Jay

Need 10 foot cable for Audio Magic Stealth XXX
Recommend Signal Cable 10 AWG AC power cord, or D.H. Labs 12 AWG, or even Panamax Pinnacle 12 AWG. IMHO, the cord going from wall to conditioner doesn't matter as much as the cords going from conditioner to electronics. Just get a heavy guage, i.e...

Want to experience tubed CDP?
Hi, Jh2os:I heard the Cairn Fog v2.0 at a friend's house, but didn't audition it side-by-side with my AH! Supertjoeb 4000. We listened to Beethoven string trios performed by L'Archibudelli -- it's a good reference CD for judging bass, midrange, an... 
PS Audio P300, P500 or P1000 Power Plants
I haven't compared them, but common sense tells me that they all sound the same. I bought two P500's rather than one P1000, because they provide more outlets, more isolation, more flexibility and better cooling. The P500 will provide 300 watts con...
