Does subwoofer + bookshelve=full range speaker?
"the same performance"? From the perspective of soundstaging and image control, you may well get BETTER performance. I would have to pay a LOT more to get what I currently have with my Nautilus 805s and my REL Stadium III Sub. I personally do not ... 
Review: B & W Loudspeakers Nautilus 805 Monitor
I also own the N 805s. Although the tweeter isn't as sweet as it might be, what I love about these speakers is that they reveal and respond to everything upstream. This has allowed me to build a great front end and eventually think about speaker u... 
How many things do you have plugged in?
Hmmm. Let's see. 4 downstairs, 7 upstairs. 11.But, if I had to use candles in order to accomodate my audio equipment, the choice would not be difficult. 
Potential problem with sale.
I, too, agree with Itsalldark and Esun. You can bet I will look for what they are selling here, and buy from them. I do, however, think that shipping should be paid by the original buyer, and that something must be done to ensure that goods have n... 
What do you think Audiogon does right? or wrong?
I second Zaikesman, I would like to see something beyond the MUSIC discussion forum in the way of music reviews. Let each member assemble a virtual library to go along with their virtual system. Let it contain reviews in a well structured format t...

The effective search engines - search for information, search for gear, buy quality equipment well below retail. The post archives contain a wealth of useful information.So far, I haven't found much use for the new equipment reviews feature. The d...

Ernie,Now that I realize you have a pass labs pre and the electrocompaniet, I am going to take your interconnectsuggestion very seriously. I will audition the Discovery essence in the near future. 
How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage
Slawney, curious you should mention the angled walls at the front of the room.I just finished reading a technical artical on the Sequerra site that recommends inserting quasi walls of absorbing material angled behind the speakers in rectangular ro... 
Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
I once saw a "designer's challenge" episode on HGTV.The gentleman homeowner owned B&W Nautilus 805 speakers.When the designer was done, the stands had been removedand the speakers were placed on top of a tall cabinet.It gave me a sickening fee... 
What component have you changed out the most?
Digital Source - four to one. But not anymore. TheElectrocompaniet CDP is THE ONE. 
Electrical outlet upgrade worth it?
Jadem6, have you tried cryogenically treated outlets?If so, where do they fit in your lineup? 
Albertporter only needs 50
I would like to purchase two.How do we arrange for payment / shipment? 
My EMC-1 24 192 experience
Ernie,If you are still reading this thread, what pre are you using. I have just added the Pass Labs X-1 to my EMC-1 MKII and together they put to rest FOREVER, the notion that solid state is unmusical. This combination outperforms ALL tubed units ... 
Cable vs. Electronics: biggest bang for the buck
I don't know what clueless thinks, but I would like to stick my 2 cents in here. I disagree with the statement that cables are less important with solid state. If the system has subtlety (which increases with sophistication) then cables matter. I ... 
How much does your system retail for?
$20K in 2-channel, Another $8500 in 2-channel HT, where I retired my entry level 2-channel system. I have not sold a single piece of equipment yet. These are, after all, my children. I suspect I am probably not done yet.
