Grado SR325 vs RS-1
Thanks to everyone for their suggetions and I will try and go for the RS-1 probably because I buy to keep like most of us. I have gotten alot of use from my 325's and think I might be in for a real treat with the upgrade. I just hate when it isn't... 
Conditioners for power amps
220V is better in the US I have learned due to the fact that it is balanced power. In Europe which uses this voltage doesn't benifit because they are still at 50Hz vs our 60Hz which induces less noise. Plus PS Audio advised me to step up the volta... 
Grado SR325 vs RS-1
Would the larger driver in the RS-1 sound better or worse than the smaller driver in the RS-2? Are either good for rock or jazz music or which one for this type of music? 
Conditioners for power amps
I use a PS Audio P1200 converted to 220V with my Krell 300S and prefer it to the dedicated only plug. The amp is more musical than without it I have found and more enjoyable. 
B W 804 for Home Theater
Just reinforceing "Msontang" with the CDM9NT is deffinately worth looking into. You already know that you will need a sub to complete the set up and always consider others, but I would match it with a B&W. I use Krell KAV 250a/3 and DS-6 B&... 
Why Can We plug our AMPS directly into wall w/o Worrying?
I use a PS Audio P1200 with my Krell KSA-300S with such good results that I haven't gone back to straight wall connection. I also use the P1200 in 220V mode which benifits from balanced A/C. I know it is pricey, but if you are like me in finding t... 
Add a sub to BW N804?
I agree fully with "Sugarbrie" and I only stated the ASW800for my match and situation ONLY. I am saying to audition any and all that are of interest, and when you find one you will not regret it. I am saying also that a match for the Nautilus woul... 
Add a sub to BW N804?
Believe it or not I found great results in adding ASW800's to my 801 III's and never looked back. I tried many sub woofers even the newer B&W ones and nothing seemed to blend properly. Nothing at all against REL either, but I think you will fi... 
Roger Waters...
I would have to agree with Black70jr that the Sony SBM gold version is quite a bit better than the standard. I have both copies and only play the standard on the road. 
Bass in my room isn't good? Help
Make sure that if you are sending a signal already crossed over from the Classe ssp25 that the sub is run at full frequency. It is common with home theater systems that this is misunderstood and the sub woofer is also set at the the same frequency... 
When you buy things online/phone order-Try to avoid...
I had the same experience a few years ago where they advertised discount on B&W etc. I sent $4000 to them for new 801 III's and waited for 3-4 months. Finally with verbal threats which usually do nothing to people like this I did receive a cer... 
Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson?
Dan, I forgot to list that I am using Purist Audio Design Proteous cables through out my entire system (above). I have also been told to try or go with Transparent or MIT. I have not really heard of anyone using this combination which I have ran a... 
Krell , Martin Logans Mark Levinson?
If it ain't broke don't fix it. I made a similar mistake when I broke the synergy that I loved when I sold my KSA-300S to get a FPB-300 at Christmas time in 1999. I never had such a bad Christmas before especialy since I let it go for below market... 
Krell hts 2 - very dissapointing
In response to Drrdiamond I found thaty I lost some of the characteristics that I liked from the 300S. The impact and dynamics seemed to be less than what I was used to with my B&W 801 III's w/North Creek crossovers. I thought it had a better ... 
Krell hts 2 - very dissapointing
I like and live with all mid 90's Krell audio (KRC-HR, KPS-20i, 300S) and video (HTS1, 2-250a/3). I was not thinking of getting the new one only to upgrade my HTS1 into 6:1. I am not sure where Krell is headed but, I sold an 300S only to find out ...
