Martin Logan SL3 with Musical Fidelity KW 500?
To the best of my knowledge that's a dual mono integrated amp, not bridged. 
Floor Standing under $1000 Polk vs Paradigm
Rnilson,I don't know that they'd sound like crap, just not to their full potential is all I was saying. 
Floor Standing under $1000 Polk vs Paradigm
IMO, the Polk LSi's are definitely the better of the two in question. However, you're not going to get all of what they are capable of with your current power source. Feed them well and they will reward you. 
why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals?
Racerx322,I'd suggest you get that owners manual and ask them for the SDA trouble shooting guide. I know you had them checked out, but it sure seems as though they have a problem. Of course, it could be, as Jameswei pointed out, that the Klipsch s... 
why do my polk sda 1 monitors subdue male vocals?
Shadorne, With respect, the SDA speakers do not function as most other speakers do. For example, they are never to be toed in. Two of the four mid drivers are used in a cross cancellation signal at a reduced volume level and limited to certain fre...

Do you have the SDA interconnect cable? Is your amp common ground? 
Keep SACD Petition link
Hodu, don't give up yet. Sony just announced 3 new SACD car stereo players, which I feel is bound to get some regular folks attention. In addition, Chesky Records has gone to SACD releases only, no more redbook CD's from them.I would encourage eve... 
Preamp: Cary versus BAT

which technology really has the best picture
For shear picture quality, the CRT is still the best. 
Power Cord for Jolida JD-100
Power cord, PS Audio Statement, version 3. For tubes, Ei Elite gold pins beat the pants off of everything else, beautifully balanced sound from top to bottom. 
Need help choosing capacitor upgrades in crossover
The Auricap and Kimber caps are essentially the same, both are good. The Mundorf's are excellent, but probably far more than you want to spend. I think the Sonicap's are very good to excellent and if you bypass the high frequency caps with their .... 
Dark Day For Hands On Music-Movie Buyers
Congrats Jaybo, you got it right.RIP Tower records, you will be missed by the true music lovers. 
My system is bright? I need help. thanks
My $.02 on the matter. The MF gear isn't the problem. Try some MIT S1 cables all around and ditch the Panamax. Also, look into room treatments. 
HELP...Bubble Wrap Marks in PIANO BLACK Speakers??
STOP! Don't try anything else on your speakers. You have what are called "pack marks" in the trade and the only way to remove them is to buff them out. A buffing/polishing machine is best, but it can be done by hand. I'd start with 3M Imperial Mic...
