Speakers to Match to CAT pre amp and CAT mono bloc
We have set CAT amps for customers with 81dB sensitive MBL 101E, as well as with 109 dB sensitive Avantgarde Trio horns. They drive MBL without any problem, and there is no noise with Avantgarde, when the CAT Legend preamp gain is set to low.Deale... 
Where to go from here
Most of the time 2K analog beats 2K digital, unfortunately. There are very few exceptions, almost none. 
Matching a center to MBL 101e's
Are you using a front projector? 
BNC or Coax?
BNC is the only true 75 ohm connector. SPDIF is not ( if that's what you meant by coax). Therefore, BNC is always better then RCA (SPDIF) for digital transmission. 
DACs with word clock output??
Doug, All current Esoteric DACs (D-05, D-03, D-01) have word Sync out to be used in Master mode and they all accept 24/96. The clock accuracy is 3ppm. You can achieve even better accuracy with the outboard clocks (G-03, G-0rb). Let me know if you ...

Pure class A amplifiers = "slow" amplifiers?
Symphonic Line Kraft amps are pure class A and maybe the fastest sounding solid state amps out there. It all depends on the implementation.Dealer Disclosure 
Is it Amps, Preamps, cables, etc. OR Technology???
You can not drive B&W 800 series speakers with a receiver and get what they are capable off.They are very sensitive to amplification and show the limitations of the built in amps of your 905. Onkyo is a good unit, but not good enough to drive ... 
esoteric x-03 se vs x-01 ltd
The biggest difference is the transport mechanism, it is more substantial in the X-01 ltd. It is based on the architecture of the flagship P-01 transport.Dealer discloser. 
cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's
Essentialaudio, thanks for the suggestion. However, anyone can look me up and see that I am a dealer, just like you probably did. In fact, since you did not disclose your affiliations either, I just clicked on your ID and found out that you are de... 
cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's
There is a huge difference in transparency between JL2 and JL2 Signature MKII. It has the purity of SET and OTL and beats them in every other area you mentioned: bass, drive, dynamics. As you probably know, nobody uses top of the line Black Gate c... 
cat jl3 signatures vs. atmashere ma2III's
HI Pubul57,Was your CAT JL2 or JL2 Signature? 
choice of ref pre amps
The new CAT Legend with black gate caps and teflon circuit boards is the best preamp choice on the market right now. I have never heard anything better in my life and I have heard them all, including 30K Jadis JP200 and Kondo preamps.George 
Esoteric G-ORb Master Clocks in general
The best way to synchronize clocks is with the outboard master clock. Every recording studio on earth has one and every CD or SACD is recorded with the master clock synchronizing A/D and D/A. The Esoteric G-0rb is superior to every other clock by ...
