No Audiophiles in Hollywood
In Jerry's apartment on "Seinfeld", the box speakers sat on the floor, behind the couch on both sides....with no sign of speaker wires...or a reciever. 
Very BIG Room? Music and Home Theatre Challenge
Find a pair of Infinity Kappa 9 speakers as your front mains. They will give you enough bass to fill that room. They can be had for about $1500 per pair. Better yet, if you can find two pair of them to run front and rear, you'll be in for a real t... 
Can tube preamps be as 'detailed' sounding as ss?
I own a tube preamp and two solid state preamps. I love all three of them. I've been unable to come to a decision on which of them is the best. While they have different sound signatures, they all have their excellent strengths and all sound great...

Sound Quality or Convenience?
SQ over convenience any day. That's what brought us all to this hobby....the higher sound quality. I'm not ready to go back to convenience yet. I'm in too deep.I miss the heck out of my 5-disc changer....the sound quality just doesn't measure up, ...

Boa2,...what is a squeezebox? 
Whats up with Carver/Sunfire?
Dave,....the speakers really sound great. The thing with them is the scale of the presentation that they bring. It is truly another level of listening. I'm still dialing them in. I have three preamps and I'm trying to decide which one to keep: Aud... 
Whats up with Carver/Sunfire?
Michael, if you can find a pair of Carver Silver 9t monoblocs....get them. They are usually about the same price or less than a Sunfire stereo amp. The Sunfire amps are very good also, but the Silver 9t's are better. I currently own both of these ... 
Home Entertainment Show in Los Angeles
Macrojack,......... it's volume. I'm sure Wilson could slash the price of their speakers if they sold more of them. They will never sell a huge volume of them....there aren't that many audiophiles. Every family has a car...some families have three...

tube rolling arc ref 1
I had a Ref 1 once and it had the stock tubes in it from Audio Research. I loved that preamp except for a mid-bass bloat sometimes that was too irritating. I got the Ref 2 Mk2 and the bloat disappeared. If not for the bloat, I prefer the Ref 1 ove... 
No Audiophiles in Hollywood
I just finished viewing the dvd of the movie "Stealth". The character, Dr. Keith Orbit, has what appears to be a ClearAudio Master Reference turntable and a wicked looking pair of speakers in in house.
