WANT tukans to do the disapearing thing???
Hi,I would pull the speakers out from the front wall to 4 ft. As well, not all music material will enable to make your speakers disappear. For example, most audiophile stuff from Chesky when played on most speakers will make it sound as if music i... 
Electrostats Shootout at 4000 Corral
Hi,I am interested in getting a pair of ML Aeons myself but I am still worried that with certain recordings the soundstage will collapse to the floor where the woofer is. At least that's what I heard with the Aerius. The only other manufacturer wh...

Thank you KennyB! 
BAT VK-3i / BAT VK-30 or Herron VTSP-1A pre amp
Hi KennyB,What does the SF Line 3 do better than the BAT Vk-3i?Thanks! 
new to tubes, match for spectral amp
Not recommended at all! If you are inkling for the tube sound it is better to get a tube amp to mate with your DMC-30. Or get the DMA-150 II Studio version with the proper input protection and then you can use your tube pre-amp of choice and with ... 
Cary 805c and Quad ESL-63 Combination?
Hi,If the Quads are the speaker you will be using then the 805C should be no problem at all. Quads only like to see about 50 to 100 watts and the 805C is a big 50 watts compared to similar solid state amp. 
Cary V12 opinions wanted
Hi,I heard the V12 and 805C in the same set up and defintely the 805C sound better. Bigger sound, image, more rich tone, better soundstage and focus.

Thanks for your input ken! 
Spendor S3/5 that good?
Hi,They are very accurate in tone. I passed on these for a second speaker because they were somewhat boxy, had smaller than life images, didn't excel in dynamic contrasts. Hope this helps! 
Please, learn from my mistakes
Hi Bostonorgane,Thanks for your informative post! Is the Meridian 508.20 still available new or is it only now 508.24?Thanks! 
Audio Research comparison
Hi Kublakhan,Does the AR Ref. MK II pre use a single gain stage with no cathode follower like the BAT VK-50SE pre?Thanks! 
What SS amp has the fastest warm-up time
Hi,Thanks for all your responses! You guys got me thinking that stand-by might not be bad after all. The other issue is that it seems like I'm leaving a 200 watt halogen light on 24/7 and that seems to be a waste. Doesn't stand-by cause excess wea...
