Rgs92: Thanks you! We worked very hard to get the sound good in NY, and due to the very small size of the room and the large size of the speakers, we were very surprised at how good it sounded.

Wow, lots to respond to:Elberoth2: No problem, I am sure your intentions were honorable.Steinway57: Having an audio dealer friend "who has been in the business for 3 decades+, and who really has golden ears and also can sell the amp if he chooses,... 
Kharma Exquisite Reference - low power, low volume
Very nice speaker. Many people have run them with low powered SET amplifiers, but I prefer more power on them. Room size and listening preferences determine just how much power you will want.And, no the need to be turned up or the sound is very cl... 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Dlanselm: Yes, if we are talking about the same owner, he treated the amplifiers with a product I had forewarned him about. It has destroyed a few systems that I am a ware of. Definitely not a problem with the amplifier.John Atkinson, during his t... 
Dartzeel amp lives up to hype
Dlanselm: I may be wrong, but, I think the amp you are talking about was one that has was treated with an aftermarket product that voided the warranty. The amplifiers that were treated are the only amplifiers I know of that have ever had any probl... 
Best MONITORS availables
Emigene: You are on the right track. The Magico is very good as is the Kharma 3.2. The Peak Consult is very musical while not having the last word in resolution. The Ultimate Monitor is another outstandign choice. I had a pair in my system not too...

Calling all Von Schweikert VR-9 owners
Rumney510: The speakers that were at the show belong to me. They are just as "tweaked" as every pair that is built. They are all identical other than finish options.Who told you they are not available at the factory for audition? That is bad infor...

Jadem6: I cannot speak from experience regarding the Brilliant Pebbles and Clever Lil Clock, but I do have experience with Geoff's Nimbus Stand. I used it at a show about four or five years ago and think very highly of it. It has real science behi...

Calling all Von Schweikert VR-9 owners

Adog: "They all pale in comparison when compared to" Have you had them "all" in your system to compare? I find it hard to believe as I am sure others will as well. Most people decide on an isolation system and stick with it for a long time for a n...

Hooper: What is your experience with the Grand Prix Audio for you to say that? You know I know both peices extremely well and for Janson's situation I would have to lean toward the Grand Prix Audio.
