Should I buy a Class A Amp.
I have heard great AB amps and great A amps.  From my understanding a class A is an inherently better circuit but the implementation is what also makes a difference.i currently run a Boulder 2060 amp.  If you look it up, it's a class A beast and I... 
Esoteric K-01X or K-03X??
On a newly released k1x, who cares about 1 year warranty.  Your friend can help you if that issue arises anyway.i would've said you made a bad move going k3x

I thought you were a BW D2 fan Bo?  You've had many postings stating such 
Is it possible for the center image to drift from lp to lp?
I used to note this also but I'm 34. Then I realized that the room was reflective on one end compared to the other. 
Visit to Magnolia Proves Interesting
I am a magnolia customer. Bought a pair of 802d3 and have a pair of Sonus faber Olympica 3. The staff are very nice to me and very accommodating. I have borrowed from them some audioquest cables for the past 2 months... They let me walk out the st... 
Speaker Driver Material & The Sound of Dissimilar Materials
OPi think you need to read up on acoustics and sound reproduction.Drivers are meant to reproduce recorded sound, it doesn't act like the string of a guitar.

Set up for Rockport Aviors
Jason, PM philb7777, he has the Cygnus and has been a lot of help with positioning when I had my Aviors.   
Help! Best amp for Rockport Aviors?
I had Rockport Aviors, had a tube Cary 05 running into Boulder 2060.  I would say, with the Boulder, the Rockport were not bright.  Sounded just right.  I do miss them.  But I was looking for something else.   
What's going on with the audio market?

Need feedback on loudspeakers
I have the O3.  I can assure you there is more than enough bass.And it sounds great. 
What speakers do you recommend? I'm considering B&W 804 D3 or Sonus Faber Olympica II
I like both, bought both.802D3 incoming.  SF Olympica III enroute.  Both good speakers, but I prefer the 802D3 for overall presentation.  It gets me to the event better.   
B&W 805 D3
Heard it again today...Close your eyes and you're there.  Tried it with the SF Olympica 3 today... Didn't work.  Sounds great... But the 802d3 just recreates all the little ambient information and creates a believable event.Something I could not c... 
B&W 805 D3
Just as a quick aside, the d2 to me seem brighter.  Off axis the d2 might sound better on a quick casual listen because it is more engaging in that sense.  But sit in the sweet spot in the right room in the right triangulation and positioning of t... 
B&W 805 D3
I compared side to side 802d2 which I owned against 802d3.  Same system, same wires, same songs.because I wonder the d2, I knew it intimately.  All the wrongs and weaknesses of the 802d2, I knew.so when I compared it, I knew the first momemt... Th...
