| Best Integrated Amp for the money I agree with Marakanetz. The Plinius 8200 is a great integrated and selling for 40% of the retail price. | |
| Putting floorstanding speakers on stands... I use a custom-made pair of 6" tall Sound Anchors under my B&W Matrix 803s. joel | |
| Integrated amp & player for B&W 804, pls I second all of the opinions about the Plinius 8200. I use an older 8150 with B&W 803s and love the combination. I suggest that you audition several CD players. With good speakers and int. amp, a lesser CD player will always be your weak link.... | |
| Speaker Stands for B&W Matirx 803s I own Matrix 803s and had the Sound Anchor people make a pair of 7" tall stands that are virtually a short version of their monitor stands - 3 legs, large footprint, 3 large spike feet. It is a great combination both visually and soncially. It ele... | |

| Best system for the budding audiophile? I second Ccmman's recommendations but would encourage you to install one to two dedicated 20 amp circuits using 10 gauge wire. Include a hospital or audio grade outlet. Next, save a few bucks for power cords, ICs and speaker wire. In your price ra... | |
| best 100- 200 used interconnect HT Truthlinks will meet your needs in your price range | |
| what will make the greatest differance in sound. Several other considerations:1. The listening room - are the acoustics of the rooms well suited to the speakers and their placement? Minor changes can yield excellent results.2. Do you have a dedicated electrical circuit? Again, for small dollars,... | |
| What is your most anal audio habit? Rlwainwright . . . just wondering what tools you use to make sure that the CDs are PERFECTLY straight. I've tried several laser products and none has been satisfactory. | |
| Does it hurt when you sell at a loss? Everything I own (cars and audio gear) is used. I still take a hit when I sell put it's a smaller hit and not a painful. | |
| Solid State Integrated in 1500- 1800 range ? The Plinius 8150/8200 is a good choice. I love my 8150. It drives B&W 803s with ease. Used $1600-1800. | |
