Quad 63 US Monitor rebuild?
I debated buying some used Quads on AudiogoN last year and talked to some who rebuilt there own panels or had a panel or 2 replaced, figuring that would be acceptable and I could save some money. After speaking with Kent at Electrostatic Solutions... 
Time to move on, Quad, Coincident or Ref 3a
All are quality designs..I can only speak with regard to having owned the Quads and VSA speakers..."life is too short"...I agree. Ive been with more than a few speakers over the years.My personal favorite of all the speakers owned would definitely... 
Need your assiatnce - tube preamp recommendations
I couldn't agree more with Jhold. In fact..I DARE ;-) you to pick up a CJ from the PV-5,8,10 or 11 and 12A, and see if you dont think it beats a host of these newer hi-dollar clinical sounding pre amps out today..

Great systems in butt-ugly rooms
Like Tvad says..So what..if thats what it looks like then it is what it is.. there's no accounting for taste.the real issue should be, putting those superb, expensive systems and stuffing them into something no bigger than a guest bathroom. Now, t... 
Which Boney James
Lots of good tunes..I really liked the "Sweet Thing" cd from '97 on WB Records. "Seduction" is also good..I didnt care so much for "Body Language"..but..thats just my opinion. 
What is under $5k speaker with best bass slam?
I really like my Emerald Physics CS-2's..Man can they do bass!! I wont get "too" carried away here..just go hear them..The buzz is true. Watch out for these! I hear rumblings from dealers about guys selling their $20K Vandy 5's.. 13K Merlins, and ... 
retubing a bat vk 5i??????
I agree with Joman...the Matsushita's are not the Siemens, but are great sounding and a real sleeper of a tube. I would definitely try this tube if $$ is an issue for the Siemens or Amperex tubes.
