B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia?
Dodgealum,Of course he does--i responded to him in another thread. He prefers Sonus Fabers---totally opposite sides of the spectrum. I think the Cremonas are mush, so to each his own.However, i don't rail SFs in other threads, but to each his own. 
Thiel 7.2 or Revel Studios
I personally prefer the Wilson Sophias in the same price range, or the Dyn C4s a bit above, which you should audition as well. It's all about taste at this price point. 
Problem with Cardas. They won't help, can you?
Just call.Email is nice, but it's so much easier to get stuff done over the phone. 
Candid opinions regarding Kharma Ceramique 2.2
Sophias are great speakers, and not "in your face." Kharmas got the focal tweets too, so going to be somewhat similar on the top end. The Sophias don't fatigue me like the W/P neighbors. There is a much more natural top to bottom coherance too.I l... 
Anyone heard the new VMPS RM30?
I heard it at CES, and wasn't that impressed.I've heard the bigger brothers and like them better. 
DACs: Burmester vs. Meitner vs. dcs
Mike,Have you ever tried Guy's active preamp? 
hi-end universal players?

Anyone familiar with Blue Jeans Cables?

Which 3K CDP: Simaudio Nova, Ayre CX-7 Wadia 302
not to mention, when is the last time you heard of a broken Wadia.i've never seen it posted. 
Stereo or Monoblocks for the Salon
Tubes or SS? 
Von Schweikert VR-4,Jr.
Now, Kal--admittedly they did allow open requests from 4-6 each day. Would be great if you could chime in here, if you were able to do so.I was stuck in video heaven, and never made it back upstairs! 
Anyone visit the VAC display at the Home Th. Show
I think Bob is talking about the VTL setup, not the VAC setup.I loved the VAC/VS setup too... 
Levinson 383 vs. Rowland Concentra
I sold mine 1.5 years ago for $3800. It just didn't work well with my Dyns. I think when the concerto comes out 3k is going to be it for a mint Concentra IISynergy is everything these days... 
Looking for new TV under $2K
Why get a 4:3 screen these days with HDTV? I would never buy the 40" Sony 
Are Wilson speakers
To your ears Bigpowerballs--your SFs put me to sleep, so to each his own eh?To blanket statement any system without regard to components is silly--yes Wilson/Spectral was stale to me. However, Wilsons on VTLs or BAT gear has been phenomenal to the...
