Billboard's awards .....yikes
It's the same problem with movies. Everytime I go to Blockbuster to rent a DVD, there's very little in the new releases that's worth spending the time or money for. 
Wheres my week link????
AC upgrades may help, but I truly doubt it's your "weak link". My suggestion is to find some friends (or a store) with some decent gear and start swapping out your components one at a time and listen to them for a few days. This may help you deter... 
Question on Salamander Synergy system
I bought a "Single 40" cabinet recently. I don't think it "assists the sound quality" in any way. A couple of things to mention about this cabinet. The perforated side panels are not a tight fit in the channels, and rattled if I tapped on the cabi... 
Help me pick the right monitor
I was thinking along the same lines as "Mijknarf". The Callistos are incredible speakers. When you mention "higher class" are you refering to the sound, or the looks of the cabinet? The Callistos are made from cast marble and only come in black (w... 
Ah Njoe Tjoeb 4000
Regarding #2, the Njoe Tjoeb has provisions for adjusting the output voltage (by soldering or desoldering a pair of connections on the output circuit board), so you should have no trouble running this unit directly into your amps. Depending on the... 
Special birthday audio gift to yourself?
I have a friend who turned 50 this summer, and did the same thing. A pair of Green Moutain Audio Callisto's and a Resolution Audio CD player. I'm not sure which amp he bought.

Omega Grande 8 vs. Cain & Cain Abby
Gmood1:Paying attention to what? There is nothing in this thread about a 60 WPC Amp, nor his listening preferences. Nothing but a question asking about a comparison of two high efficiency speakers. I followed your link to thew Jordan speakers and ... 
Omega Grande 8 vs. Cain & Cain Abby
Gmood1:The following is from the ZHorn site, regarding the transmission lines using the JORDAN JX92S driver:"If one has enough power (the drivers are 88db/watt efficient) and an average to small sized room, these speakers are my very favorite."Not... 
Good passive subwoofer?
VMPS has a very good reputation. Or, DIY. 
Wife Acceptance Factor
A friend of mine has an interesting solution. He is free to buy whatever he wants, as long as his hobby is self-supporting. He buys and sells antique radios, as well as hi-fi gear. So, but a lot of expensive gear now, so you have some trade bait a... 
Don't Think I'll Buy This...
Nothing worse than an ad that assumes the reader already knows everything about the item for sale. I've seen way too many ads with no specs provided. If it's an amp, how about at least listing the wattage! The other day I came across an ad that di...

2a3 or 300b amp for me ?
Why not search for someone in your area with an amp that you can try in your system.
