Revel Studio or Salon?
Doesn't matter which you choose..... I had Gems and loved them, but decided to get Studios, which are wonderful. Then I bought the Sub15 system (mostly for HT, but it sounds so good with the Studios). The tweeters on the Studios are just right for... 
Do cables really need "breaking in"?
SMW30: not all situations offer the resolution necessary to hear the "breaking in" of cables or electronics. The car is one good example, where the ambient noise is so great, you would never hear those changes. As for the TV: Most of it is on all ... 
Anybody happy with high power Krell?
David,I Have a Pass Labs Aleph 4 (100w pure class A watts/ch) and really love its natural sound. I would defintely try a Pass amp. I think I saw some 1.2 monos and there are several x amps out there. 
Do cables really need "breaking in"?
Having an old EE degree, I thought this made no sense. However, I have noticed that cables do sound better after they have sat in one place for many hours. One article suggested that the crystaline structure is under stress when bent and that afte... 
Proceed AVP or Meridian 561?
I have an avp and love it. Be sure you understand how the Meridian works. Some of their HT gear only works with other Meridian gear, meaning you cannot mix and match components to suit your tastes or pocketbook.You might want to keep your Bryston ... 
Transparent Audio IC's and Speaker Cable
Before you waste any more money on Transparent, I think you ought to try some other brands that are more natural sounding, like Tara Labs or Nordost or NBS. Why would you pay to put additional electronics in your cables? That can only add distorti... 
What's your favorite MFSL CD's?
Who's Next - the WhoBreakfast in America - SupertrampTeaser and the Firecat - Cat Stevens 
Would love opinions on my HT puzzle
Glen is right...... It really makes the sound "seamless" when the speakers are well matched. This usually means all from the same manufacturer. good luck 
Revel B-15 or REL Stadium III
jon,I have Studios, Voice and Embraces. I found a great deal on a pair of Revel Ultima subs with LE-1 and its way beyond what I expected from a sub system. The first time I've ever felt it sounded like being at a live concert. Have you been to a R... 
DTS's CD----wanted to buy
Gee Glenn, aren't those DVD's?Try Half.com, choose music and then use DTS under search. 
Speaker recommendation for Pass Labs
Revel Gems are awesome. I was using a Pass Aleph 4, but any would sound wonderful with the Gems. 
Thoughts on the XRCD, Hell Freezes OVER
Where do you get XRCD's? 
Thoughts on the XRCD, Hell Freezes OVER
The DTS Hell Freezes Over is like being there. Didn't know there was an xrcd. 
Stones and Beatles MFSL CD's?
I was curious and bought the Beatles White Album (from Ebay). It claims to be made in Italy. It doesn't play on my Proceed MDT (which will not play CD-Rs). I did play it on my old laserdisk player but it didn't sound any different,at all, from my ... 
I don't get it
I think its a combination of all of your theories, but I think there is a lot more of #1 than any of us realize. I also think there are many new companies that price their products with the Big Boys to make us think their products must be Class A ...
