Dooooh! Thanks Tweety. 
2003 CES Show Report from Father & Son Audio
Thanks for the report! You mentioned the Totem room... I'm curious to know if it had Forests, if yes, what did they power them with and what cables were used. Also, just your general opinion if the sound. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it... 
static electricity
While I believe any of the suggestions posted here will work, V1rowt8 is dead on the money with his advice to add a humidifier. My second hobby is furniture making and I know all too well the damage that dryness can do to your furniture in the win... 
Norah's new album,,FEB 9th. Can she do it again???
I wish her well, however, I'm one of those people that dislikes her voice. The quality of the recording was super, it sounded great on my system, but I just couldn't take her voice. Rollercoasters and Nora are similar to me... I want to like them,...

Thiel CS2.3 vs 2.4 -- my 2 cents
I agree with your evaluation, sdecker. Last week I went to audition the 2.3 and 2.4 models also in a private room, this time powered by a nice Proceed set up. I didn't think the 2.4 was vastly better, however, more open and acurate is how I'd desc... 
Will spend $ 2500 for used speakers for upgrade.
Try to find a Totem dealer near you and give a listen to a set of Forests, very impressive. 
Totem Hawk vs. Forest
I just hooked up my Forests yesterday, huge sound from a diminutive cabinet. Break in will occur in the next few months, but right now I'm very pleased. I love them, go and hear for yourself, my decision was based on quality of sound. The Forest i... 
Has the B&W S805 actually changed from N805?
Snickelfritz: How 'bout in English! Now I know how my wife feels when I try to explain to her what a DAC is!! Just kidding...thanks for the explaination Snickelfritz. 
Has the B&W S805 actually changed from N805?
