Speakers for Unison Unico 80W
Sandman- sorry - I have no experience with the Dulcets, so I can't say they are going to fit your application as well. Look for a pair of the de capo's used and take the guesswork out of the equation 
Speakers for Unison Unico 80W
Hi Sandman - If I were you, based on your room and placement requirements, I would look for a pair of Reference 3A mm deCapo speakers and get yourself years of listening pleasure. They are great with the Unico amplifier. Enjoy! 
Kimber Monocle XL
Hi Adam - why not wait until you have the speakers and have a chance to use the Sig 10X cables on them? You can always combine two (+) and two(-) spades under the binding posts of your new Dyn's at least to be able to hear what they sound like tog... 
Can you reccomend a cable for my VAC 140's
Wave - without knowing your speakers, it would not be good to make any recommendation. What I can tell you about Virtual Dynamics is that they are stiff, unwieldy, and only show what they can do when used throughout the system. I have always had g... 
how to evaluate comp stand w/o inhome auditions?
Hi Sound - maybe I can help you. You want a rack that has a frame that is rigid and drains down to the spikes. Shelves can be of many (debatable) materials as long as the material has a LOW resonance frequency, which is why glass, metal, and grani... 
Up grading power amp... Mono blocks or stereo amp?
Doug - the Rogue 150's are excellent monos and will be a very nice upgrade for you. They are dead quiet, have great presence and will give you very good, controlled, pitch precise low frequencies - something a lot of tube amps do not do well. The ... 
Cables for electra sr30 surrounds
I would look into Kimber Kwik 12 speaker cables as being a very good, inexpensive option for s/s amps and these speakers. At $1.85/ft, it is very hard to beat! 
Power Cable with a "soft" top end
Kbuzz - rather than me just throwing out a name and model of a power cord like the previous posters did, how about you describing your system components and cabling and what component you are considering this power cord for - that way you might ge... 
Digital Cable SPDIF/COAX to AES/EBU Balanced?
Ck - this is, I believe, a definite problem. AES/EBU digital transmission specs call for 110 Ohms and SPDIF calls for 75 Ohms - so what company is going to make you an upconverting 75 Ohm to 110 digital cable and how could they possibly do that? U... 
In-Wall Long Runs of Speaker Cable
Scott- for my money, you can't beat Kimber Kwik 12 speaker cable which is in-wall rated and an excellent product that can even be used as a bi-wire. At $1.85/ft it is hard to imagine anything available that is better quality or value. 
Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord
Hey Foster, I suggest that you try some power cords in the system from someone like the Cable Co who has that available, but one power cord that works well with this integrated amp is the Audience PowerChord ( whether the "e" version or not is up ... 
Integrated Owners: I Need an Excellent Power Cord
Hey Foster - I would really like to help you out with a recommendation or two, but in order to do that, I would need to know WHAT integrated you are going to use the power cord on. Too many people on this forum have agendas other than trying to he... 
Speaker match
Max - I would take a serious look at the Reference 3A Grand Veena speakers with your A/R gear. That would be a very, very nice reference level setup for you. 
Are planar speakers less prone to room interaction
Hudson - actually, insanely varied surfaces and room irregularities are a good thing with audio reproduction as they tend to disperse sound waves. That being said - windows are not. You want to treat the windows with Marigo Labs window dots, which... 
20amp cord
Just a word of caution here - RG products use and oversized iec connector so that the only cables that fit snugly are (what a surprise) Richard Gray's. You can use other cables, but you will need good, old fashioned friction tape to build up the s...
