Belles vs Marsh
I have not heard the tubed Marsh pre but I have the SS Marsh p2000 and am very pleased. The most obvious improvement over an Acurus which I replaced with the Marsh is a noticable lack of grain. The SS Marsh includes a remote. 
B W Nautilus 805
The 805s are more adept at revealing the quality of the electronics and source material than most speakers. They have excellent build quality and an examination of the internal components of the tweeter assembly and woofer enclosure reveal excelle... 
Dissapating static electricity
I lightly spray the carpet in my listening room with anti-static spray(designed for clothing) several times each week- it makes a big difference. 
Hum from Florescent light
Trelja- I had some TARA Labs interconnects which picked up 60 Hz AC hum. Replacing them with Audioquest Coral fixed the problem. 
Pipedreams... Any thoughts?
I've heard them at Nicholsons Stereo in Nashville and at the Chicago Stereophile show. In Nashville they were properly set up in a large acousitcally treated room and used with Ayre electronics. I'd say it was the best system I've ever heard. In C... 
Share your thoughts on Marsh Amps
I have a P2000 preamp and have beem very impressed. Detailed, yet smooth. Inexpensive, yet competitive with the best I've heard. 
Anyone heard the marsh and odyssey amps?
I have a Marsh P2000 preamp and am amazed by the quality it offers. They have an excellent web site: www.marshsounddesign.com Also, I listened to the Odyssey system at the last Stereophile show- it was very impressive. 
Best reviewers
JA, ST and MF from Stereophile, also RH from The Absolute Sound. They have added much enjoyment to my hobby. I appreciate the opportunity to thank them.

B&W 302, Paradigm Titans, or PSB Alpha's
The B&Ws are excellent for the money. I always advise friends shopping for their first truly musical system to purchase them. 
Why lots of B&W Nautilus for sale used?
I have a pair of N805s and it would be very difficult to convince me to sell them. I carefully considered many higher priced speakers but the B&Ws remained my favorites. The build quality seems exceptional. 
What happened to Duntech?
I'm sure you're aware of Dunlavy Audio in Colorado Springs. 
Is B&W A Reputable Company
After listening to many speakers, I purchased a pair of Nautilus 805s. I believe these small Nautilus speakers to be the finest bookshelf models I've heard at any price. They offer high levels of refinement and craftsmanship. I've heard the larger... 
NATURAL CHERRY VENEER
I've had cherry 805s for about 4 months and only recently noticed the finish was becoming darker and more beautiful. I'm very pleased with these speakers. 
True Bookshelf speakers--which best?!
I have owned and auditioned many bookshelf speakers but have found the B&W Nautilus 805s to be the most musically satisfying. Becuase of your placement restrictions, you may also wish to consider the Revel M20s- they sound great and are adjust...
