McIntosh Preamp
I spoke with Audio Classics this morning. I’m impressed, although closed on Saturday, Steve called me in regards to my email inquiry. I am leaning towards a MX-130 or C-39. I know they both do the video thing which I wouldn’t use at all and a tune...

Thanks Gus do far. Stereo5, great suggestion. I didn't know about Audio Classics and they have some decent prices or at least units in my price range. I'm not looking for a tuner or surround but it seems like three pretty decent deals on some of t... 
B & W 801 S3 Crossover Upgrade
It’s actually on eBay. The eBay listing number is 152964921612. This is for a complete crossover replacement or rebuild and I believe wire inside the speakers as well. It’s also for series 3 801’s or 802’s. He does a bunch of models. Let me know h... 
B & W 801 S3 Crossover Upgrade
I haven't had anything done with mine yet.  I'll send the link to you later. I'm not 100% convinced I need to do anything at this point. Let me know if you use this guy and if your happy with the outcome. 
B & W 801 S3 Crossover Upgrade
Thanks for your input. I found a guy who today rebuilds the crossovers including heavy awg inductors and resistors as well.  He charges like $600 a pair.  I may give it a try.  I just don't want to screw up what I have. I'm airways looking for bet... 
B&W 801’s
Sounds like thy used a lot of diffusion. I have my Levinson 23.5 in my primary room which made the 801’s sing. I haven’t moved them up there yet but when I do, I may try acoustic treatments.

Adona Isolation Platforms
I believe there would be some sonic benefit to turntables, possibly CD transports and maybe even tube products but i have a rough time with other equipment and thats not to say they don’t help. Its just that I can’t see the logic. As for Adona, I’...

Aerial Acoustics Model 9
@czarivey i thought that was strange as well. I tried again tonight and my bottom end goes to crap immediately. I’m going to sell them, I have no choice. 
Amplifier speaker match
Thanks Bob, I may do that. I never listened to Vandersteens. I don’t who sells them locally in Chicago area. Is that 2k new or used? I’m wiling to spend 2k’ish in a used market figuring to get more bang for the buck. I spoke with my local guy. He ... 
Amplifier speaker match
Thanks for the suggestions. I just recently purchased the Jolida recently. I really don’t want to get rid of it so soon. I haven’t had a chance to really get familiar with it. Any suggestions on a comparable set of speakers as the Thiel CS-6’s tha... 
Amplifier speaker match
I am aware of that fact about Thiel. It's a shame. So far not having much luck in favor of the Thiel's with the Jolida. Kinda bumbed right about now 
Bi-amping
