| Cabling throughout system The Kimber KS3035 will crush any one of the above speaker cables mentioned. The 3035 to AZ Santori is a complete joke. I tried both for a week. As a matter of fact the less expensive Kimber Monocle X blew the Santori away. The Santori is only a li... | |
| Least Losses: Long speaker cable vs. Long Interconnect? Ck your amps specs. If your amp only needs 1 volt or close to reach rated output you will be just fine with a long IC. Use a good ic with a shield. Don't use MIT. MIT is garbage in my opinion in my experience. Kimber makes good cable. Use the best... | |

| Best Passive Pre-amp with remote?? Ditto Lorne and Blackie, Placette passive with remote volume, outstanding piece. Lorne is telling no fib, the best NOT heard preamp active or passive, outstanding transparencey. Extended top to bottom, hard to believe its a passive. Only 1400 reta... | |
| Is a 12' X 16' room big enough for stereo? Hi, drrdiamond and Alexc are giving you the proper advice. Those dememsions will cause problems. Keep the demensions unequal and NOT divideable by even or odd numbers. The room is big enough, just the wrong demensions. I suggest you do some resear... | |
| Anyone compare the Earmax headphone amp Hi Proud1, last week i listened to the little tubed Earmax/Senn 600 combo directly thru an Adcom CD player? I didn't wait around very long for the Earmax to warm up. The salesman connected up and i listened for a few min. What i heard was the typi... | |
| Krell hts 2 - very dissapointing Just add the Placette Passive preamp with remote volume to your HTS 1 and enjoy your SACD player. You will be very pleased with the Placette passive. No need to waste money on the HTS 2. www.placetteaudio.com | |

| Absorbtion? Thanks everyone so far. The sound does get more harmonic in the perfect nearfield but highs are still subdued. I sit a few feet behind the ideal nearfield cause of room asthestics. Has to be the room, this is the 2nd setup and 3rd pair of speakers... | |
| Which 5 ch Amp for Home Theater? For a smooth topend, the Classe cav75 or better Classe cav150. The cav150 is a great sounding amp for both music/video. The 75 or 150 will blow that Marantz away! |
