A bad situation
I do not like UPS anymore than any of the other shippers out there but filing a claim with them is very easy based on my experience last year. I bought a new power amp valued at almost $5000 and it arrived with some cosmetic damage. The shipper ca... 
Best balanced interconnects under 350
Not expensive but the best interconnects I've tried are Goertz Micro Purl Silver. I'm using 2 pair with rca jacks and 1 pair balanced. Great results and no bass problems. The Needle Doctor has very good prices on these cables. 
Upgrading from Sols 5.3s--Sonatina maybe
Emil - I have had Soliloquy 5.3's for about a year now and have been very happy with them. Just curious as to what you don't like about them. What are you trying to improve on? 
Horrific Confession and Question
From my experience, unless your guests are visiting with the purpose of listening to music it really does not matter what you are playing background music on. Over the last year or so I have put together a pretty expensive, great sounding two chan... 
Hidden Audiophile Classics
If you like easy listening and female vocals try an old (and maybe the only)Jennifer Warnes CD, "The Hunter". One my my favorites. 
Need Help with Speaker Selection
I just wanted to correct the info I posted earlier. The Soliloquy home page has been changed from when I last was on it about a year ago. They now seem to recommend a minimum placement from the wall as 4X the diameter of the rear port. On the 5.3'... 
Need Help with Speaker Selection
I've had a pair of Soliloquy 5.3's for about a year now and since I got them I've not even bothered to listen to anything else. They keep getting better and better. They have a lot more bass than any reviews seem to give them credit for. Volume is... 
SIM Audio DEPRECIATION - Slide to hole?
I think both of you are correct. As Sim Audio is a Canadian product it can be purchased in Canada for a lot less than US retail. The exchange rate alone almost accounts for the prices on the used market. I've owned a W-5 and P-3 since March and th... 
SIM Audio DEPRECIATION - Slide to hole?
Where are you seeing the relative flood of these amps at incredible depreciated selling prices? I only check this site with any regularity and have not noticed an abundance of W-5's or any extremely low selling prices. The two that are on Audiogon... 
Does silver speaker wire sound bright?
Some break in time silver cables does reduce the brightness. I noticed it more when I added Goertz Micro Purl silver interconnects than when I added a set of Light Star Audio silver speaker cables. After about 200 hours they sound wonderful togeth... 
Hi Sensitivity Speakers for SE Triodes
The Soliloquy 5.3's are exceptional speakers from my experience. The fit and finish is A-1. I bought a pair about 5 months ago in maple and they just keep getting better. They do require a long break in. Alan at Audiowaves is a dealer and seems ve... 
speakers bottoming out
What are you playing to bottom out the speakers? I have had the 5.3's for several months and have not had this happen. My amp is rated a 100 watts rms. The speakers are supposed to handle 200 watts rms (I think).
