| PSB Gold , NHT 3.3, Paradigm 100 V2? Trelja is correct, definitely go with PSB Gold-i over Paradigm, I feel PSB Gold-i is a class above Paradigm 100. I am puzzled by the "bit bright" comment as JA in his enthusiastic review in Stereophile comments that the treble was actually a bit "... | |

| What's most important? Robt I have been brain washed by Linn since early 80s when I owned LP12 turntable, source is most important by far whether CDP/Turntable, and makes biggest single difference in sound quality. Of course some balance must be reached, but its the sim... | |
| Will I blow up my tweeters by bi-wiring? Agree with Trelja and OH61, if your speaker cables are expensive you probably will go with internal bi-wire cable, if cables are less expensive you may want to consider double runs which is slightly better sound than internal bi-wire. Only caveat ... | |

| Cable advice Monster speaker cables must go immediately, for your price range get Analysis Plus Oval 12, $150 new for 8ft pair or go up to Oval 9 for $299. Used look for AQ Midnights. I do not share enthusiasm for PBJ others have here. It is very detailed, but... | |

| Best Morasp, I own several MF amps, integrateds, preamps and will probably end up buying an A3cr amp/preamp combo when the time is right, it pays to be patient when buying from Audio Advisor as price will eventually come down. I have read several revie... |
