Krell KSA 50S for Wilson Audio Shophia I
Happy New Year...the sophia is not nearly as difficult an impedance load as i understand as the Sasha. I suspect you will be just fine. Before you make a final decision on this...how big of a room are you playing in? How loud do you play? I'd be s... 
Audia flight or Gryphon for Amati
A very good match...SF and tubes have nearly always gone well in my experience. The question is whether you felt the Unison Research S8 had enough power to drive the bass. If so, you should be in great shape. 
$18k Tube preamp for large scale symphonies please
PHilip,To be clear...you describe 2 types of delivery: one that delivers the orchestra into your room, and the other that places you into the recording venue. Is this correct?Which do you prefer? Sorry...could not quite separate out which you were... 
Audia flight or Gryphon for Amati
Hi Crow,I ran SF Strad with Gryphon Antileon for years...and now still run Gryphon Colosseum. SEnsational and many, many had advised me on the magic in the combination between SF and gryphon. i cannot speak to Audia...sorry.But i can definitely sa... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Bill, i think if you are crossing over, you probably do lose a little of what the 802 offers over the 804...and if you are relatively less critical about home theater than 2-channel music (i am)...then save your money. Which is always a good thing... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
I concur with Rhljazz (fwiw). i have heard both 804 and 802, and the 802 to me is closer to the really big B&Ws than to the 804. and i really like the 804. The 802 has a depth and weight to its music, a soundstage size that to me, marks beginn... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Bill - I would definitely try it...can you audition at home, or must you buy first? Definitely would be tempted to do it. And the larger speaker is not so much (imho) about lower or bigger bass...its about the effortlessness and soundstage size. W... 
Anybody hear the Sonus Faber Venere?
Yes, though not a lot of critical listening. Initial reaction was the sound was very consistent with the SF sound of today which maintains both a focus on delivering beautiful midrange while also delivering a slightly drier and more linear sound t... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Hi Baranowski,CAnnot help as much there...been way too long to make definitive statements about 802D vs 802N. Just make sure you've got enough power...for 4K, i would be inclined to go for the N and either save the 4K or put it towards the amp or ... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Jimmy has good points. Your room seems plenty big...a big fan of dynamic range and effortlessness which i think would be an advantage of the 802 v 804...Jimmy's final point about amplification is a good one. I do not know the anthem p5. i would ru... 
would b&w 802n be an upgrade to my b&w 804S?
Go for it. If you already like the B&W sound, the 802 is a far more substantial speaker than even the already very good 804. What would you do with 804?

Krell fpb 600 problem
i am no techie...if performance is perfect once the 15 minutes has passed...its sounds as if the bad channel needs 15 minutes to get enough juice flowing thru the system to play. effectively, the warm up is super slow, yes? Capacitor? a complete g... 
Leben CS300 tube amplifer without load / speakers
i am NO techie...i would be very surprised if you had any damage at all. your speaker was just on...no signal coming in and no requirement to drive a load. i hope i am not wrong...but i suspect this is no big deal. it just sat there on. 
the viability of hi end companies
Scale. my sense of the industry is in tough times the juggernauts have economies of scale and can manage cash flow if they're good to see thru the tough times. small businesses with 3 people to feed can do well if they sell 10 pieces of equipment ...
