| Preamp, Sub, and Magnepan connect I don't own a Rel, but I think they are the best all around match with Maggies that I have heard. That is not a knock to the excellent JL Audio subs, which I have had in my system, I just think for what you are looking at doing the Rel is a better... | |

| Amp recommendation: Cary SS vs. McCormack vs. Ayre Wireless, my CAD 500 MB is the best amp I have owned period. I tried over 15 other amps with Maggies (and some other speakers as well) over the past 4 yrs and only the Innersound's (now Sanders Sound) were even close, and I like these better. Best... | |

| Best Diana Krall album...........is??? OK, I have all of the Diana Krall albums (I think??) and my fav by far is....... The Girl in the Other Room. It's not even close for me, I can't understand why no one else seemed to like it. I really enjoyed her original songs, especially the titl... | |
